Group B strep?

[trademein]

So, I picked up a copy of my DD10, medical records and saw she had a upper respiratory culture that came back as" Scant growth Beta hemolytic strep group B. What the heck is that? She tests + for A but B? I didnt know you can have that in the throat. Has anyone heard of this? Her doctor said it was + and to finish the Amoxil. Never mentioned Group B. Any input would be great.

Sincerely,

Kari

From what I googled...it looks like GBS can be normal flora and not cause symptoms but can also be pathogenic in certain instances...just like GAS. I guess it is still strep but a different species
