PIP: 200 women attending a family planning clinic for IUD insertion were surveyed for carriage of group B streptococci at various sites and to determine the effect of such device on the carriage rate. Group I comprised women who were coming for the 1st time (preinsertion); Group II were women already fitted with an IUD (postinsertion and followup). Urethral, vaginal, and rectal samples were taken from each woman with serum coated and cotton tipped swabs. Final identification was done by serological grouping of streptococci by Fuller's method. All the strains of group B streptococci were sent to the World Health Organization Collaborating Center for Reference and Training in Streptococcal Disease (New Delhi, India) for serotyping. The postinsertion group (8%) had higher carriage than the preinsertion group (5%). The vagina and urethra were important sites colonized; the rectum was not colonized. Among the isolates, 3 isolates of a new serotype IV/C were seen. It was found that the postinsertion group had double the carriage rate of group B streptococci (4% versus 2%). Chronic inflammatory response to an IUD may enhance the growth of group B streptococci. Overall vaginal carriage rate for normal women in this study was 3%, even with the use of selective media. The urethral carriage rate (3.5%) was slightly higher than the vaginal carriage rate (3%), but in venereal disease clinics very high rate for this site are reported. No group B streptococci could be isolated from the rectum. The high incidence of non-typable strains in nonpregnant women found in this study has been observed previously by some workers yet not by others.
