Wrong strep: Strep B is a normal germ in the human digestive tract and not known to cause throat infections. It does occasionally case urinary tract infections in women, but is not a significant problem for most.The real reason we look for it has to do with a vulnerability a newborn to get sick and die if it passes to them in labor/at delivery.Group A strep causes throat infections.

No: Vaginal strep B doesn't cause strep throat. And strep A that can cause strep throat is a common commensal. Don't let germ phobia keep you from making each other happy.

No: Group A Streptococcus is the bacteria that causes infectious sore throat. Group B is usually found in genital areas of women and affects her infant during the delivery.
