trademein Posted October 14, 2011 Report Share Posted October 14, 2011 (edited) 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 Edited October 14, 2011 by trademein Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
hootie Posted October 15, 2011 Report Share Posted October 15, 2011 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 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
