A member asked:
Do i need to be pregnant to have group b strep?
A doctor has provided 1 answer
No: This germ is occasionally found in the digestive tract as a somewhat innocent part of the gut germ profile.This is one likely explanation of why the female genital tract can acquire the germ intermittently. When found it does not usually cause any problems. It can occasionally cause urinary tract disease.
