A member asked:
Hi, what does group b streptococcus and scanty growth mean? i was told i have the bacteria.

Colonization: It means that you have been colonized by that strain of the bacteria. It only means you will need antibiotics when you deliver, but it does not otherwise cause you any problems, just your infant if they are exposed.
