Throat infection (5)

Ross

I believe the answer is:

strep

'throat infection' is the definition.
(I've seen this in another clue)

This is all the clue.

(Another definition for strep that I've seen is " bacterium".)

I've seen this clue in The Telegraph, the USA Today, The Times and the Universal.
