Question 1

Throat still sore: Since your symptoms are still there despite treatment, it appears that either the strep germ was resistant to the amoxicillin or that a virus (such as mono or CMV) was also present along with the strep. Or maybe both! It will take a visit to your doctor to sort this out.

Endemic: Group b strep (gbs) is present in or on the body of almost everyone.  For pregnancy care we obtain a culture of the vagina, perineum, and anus at about 35 to 37 weeks to determine if gbs is present - which it is about 1/3 of the time.  The gbs is present in the bowel in most people and it can travel to the vaginal and even sometimes cause bladder infections when it gets into the bladder.
