Strep in the Gut

Condition
Many people have strep bacteria throughout their digestive system - on their anus, in their rectum, throughout their colon. They can have 3-4 different kinds of strep. This spreads when people don't wash hands properly.
  • Poor hygiene: People with strep in gut wipe, don't wash hands well, then handle food in restaurants and grocery stores - spreads strep to others
