There are various types or species of Streptococci (strep) bacteria.The two groups briefly discussed here are from group A Streptococcus pyogenes GAS and group B Streptococcus agalactiae GBS. Nonpathogenic forms of strep bacteria normally live on the skin, inside the mouth, nose, throat, and inside the intestines.treptococcal bacteria are not always the culprit.
