Streptococcus (Sometimes abbreviated to just "STREP." for short)are a type of bacteria that cause infections within the body.There are different strains of the bacteria,you may be able to get further info on this B strain elsewhere.As You could imagine,a newborn Baby's body defenses may not be capable of handling a severe bout of bacterial infection,so all possible precautions should be taken to prevent this happening.
