Variable: Gbs is not a common germ for the adult set. It is known to cause urinary tract disease in women. If it were part of an emergency patient, you might be given residual.

Confusing question: Group b strep is a common germ found in the female genital tract.It is transiently found in a third of women at any time during pregnancy & for them usually causes no problems. It is occasionally found as a cause of a urinary tract infection in females & blood poisoning or meningitis in newborns. Unless an adult had an immune defect, i don't see gbs as causing any major problem.
