In my cervical smear check up i was found streptococcus agalactiae. i am only interested in how it got there ! not in neonatal issues ! thanks?

Colinization: That is a term for "it gets there, lives there, and causes problems only in certain circumstances." Strep is a common bacteria on our skin and in the mouth. Very easy to treat IF it is causing problems. See: http://emedicine.medscape.com/article/229091-overview for more information.
