Group B strep: Group B strep commonly is in the vagina, and you can assume that if urine is positive. If symptoms of UTI, your doc will treat you. The main GBS problem is serious infections of babies if present in the vagina during delivery. Make sure your obststrician is aware; she will test with a vaginal swab as your due date approaches and will prescribe an appropriate antibiotic if present at that time.
