A member asked:
If i'm a strep a carrier does that mean my body is producing antibodies to keep the strep at bay?
4 doctors weighed in across 2 answers
Yes.: Apparently enough to keep it from invading deeper, but not enough to get rid of it entirely.

Carrier: You might have antibodies to strep a, but typically it means that you just have a commensal relationship with strep a. It hangs out on your body and does not cause infection.
