[quote=Anonymous]Genetics play a role in how you respond to certain pathogens, making some more resistant to strep bacteria than others. In addition, my understanding is that a large majority of people (something like 90%) become resistant to strep after the age of 14 or so. Genetics are responsible for those who continue to be unable to resist it after that point (so I've been told by our doctor). I've had strep only once and as a child, even though I've nursed my children through numerous instances, continuing so far into their late teens. My mother and sister get it at least once a year.
