Hmm, unless its really flaring up in there, I actually wouldn't worry about it, just do you treatments and watch it.

"Streptococcus Agalactiae" or more commonly known as 'Beta-strep Group B' kinda just sits in the lungs there, especially for little kids with CF and babies I believe, but i'm an adult so who knows :)

For some reason actually I have be culturing this type in the last year, -never had it before in my life, but thank goodness it hasn't being doing anything to my FEV1 or CF symptoms in general so just lies in there with all the other junk, and my Drs. didn't even mention it so not an issue for me.....

I know for ( those without CF )- newborns and moms to be it can be very dangerous to them

It can also effects cows and animals in agriculture. Antibiotics work well for it, most are VERY receptive to Penicillins and its classes.
