Table 1. Number of Streptococcus agalactiae isolates according to collection site.

	Streptococcus agalactiae isolates
	n (%)	Combined swabs n (%)
VI	10 (9.7)^c	-
LV	4 (3.9)^c	-
RR	15 (14.5)^bc	-
VI + LV	5 (14.5)^b	29 (28.1)^b
VI + RR	6 (5.8)^b	31 (30.1)^b
LV + RR	4 (3.9)^b	23 (22.3)^b
VI + LV + RR	49 (47.5)^a	103 (100.0)^a

Tukey test. Small letters used for group comparisons; values followed by same letter do not differ. VI = vaginal introitus; LV = upper lateral vaginal vault; RR = rectal region; VI + LV = combined vaginal introitus and upper lateral vaginal vault; VI + RR = combined vaginal introitus and rectal region; LV + RR = combined upper lateral vaginal vault and rectal region; VI + LV + RR = combined vaginal introitus, upper lateral vaginal vault and rectal region.
