摘要：

We describe the prevalence of colonization with group B Streptococcus species in a random sample of otherwise healthy male and nonpregnant female college students. Colonization with group B Streptococcus species occurs at a high frequency among healthy students, and there was a suggestion that it is associated with having engaged in sexual activity, tampon use, milk consumption, and hand washing done less than or equal to4 times per day. However, larger studies are needed to verify these findings.
