Rectal and urogenital samples were collected, 25% women were positive for non group B beta haemolytic streptococci. Twelve (48%) were positive at single site and 13(52%) at more than one site. Beta haemolytic streptococci isolated were non-groupables In 19(76%) and groupables in 6(24%). Among groupables, Group D streptococci (GDS) were the commonest 3(12%) followed by Group 02(8%) and Group F 1(4%). Group B streptococci were not isolated in our study population
