Strep beta hemolytic (or haemolytic, depending which country you're in) group B is another term for group B Streptococcus. Group B Strep may be passed from one person to another through skin to skin contact, for example, hand contact, kissing, close physical contact, etc. As group B Strep is often found in the vagina and rectum of colonised women, it can be passed from one person to another through sexual contact. There are no known harmful effects of carriage itself and, since the group B Strep bacteria do not cause genital symptoms or discomfort, group B Strep '''carriage is not a sexually transmitted disease, nor is''' group B Strep carriage a sign of ill health or poor hygiene. No-one should ever feel guilty or dirty for carrying group B Strep - it's normal.
