If there is too much growth, which may happen with a swab, waste products may accumulate which may lyse the blood giving the appearance of hemolytic toxins when they are not actually present. [spot.pcc.edu]

Burning Sensation
Symptoms of urinary tract infection include fever, pain, and a burning sensation during urination. Women with chorioamnionitis often do not show symptoms of infection until after childbirth. Symptoms include fever, belly pain, and rapid pulse. [humanillnesses.com]

Treatment
Minor infections may not require treatment or may be treated with antibiotics. Invasive infections usually result in a hospital stay. Severe invasive infections may require intensive treatment with intravenous antibiotics for 7-10 days. [yourgenome.org]

In Group A streptococci, the R and T proteins are used as epidemiologic markers and have no known role in virulence. [caparonlab.wustl.edu]
Pathophysiology
Pathophysiology The portal of entry for S bovis bacteremia is the gastrointestinal tract. The urinary tract, hepatobiliary tree and the oropharynx can also be sources of infection in some cases. [emedicine.medscape.com]

Prevention Most newborn cases can be prevented by testing women in the thirty-fifth to thirty-seventh week of pregnancy for the bacteria. A culture of fluid from the vagina and rectum * can determine whether a woman has GBS. [humanillnesses.com]
Testing for GBS in pregnant women can be invaluable in preventing newborns from contracting the bacteria. [clinicalmicrostat.com]
