Antibiotics. Usually a Z-Pack will knock it out for me.

Strep can infect you many places. If you're talking about a throat infection, penicillin, amoxicillin, augmentin...plenty of things should take care of it. A skin infection may call for keflex. But if you're a woman who just got a vaginal Group B Strep test back positive, don't worry about it-you won't be able to get rid of it. These tests are usually done during pregnancy and determine whether someone is a 'carrier' of Group B Strep. This means that you're not infected, but that this is a normal part of the bacterial that inhabits your vagina. Everyone has bacteria there, some people just have different kinds. The important thing is if you're pregnant, you'll need antibiotics during the delivery so that it's not passed on to the baby. Babies can get meningitis or pneumonia or other dangerous diseases when exposed to this bacteria.

Group B strep rarely causes a problem for most adults and is present in the genitourinary tract as well as the GI tract. Usually treatment isn't necessary. It can, however, be a potential problem when it occurs during pregnancy and a routine srceening will be done. It isn't transmitted through breast milk.
