Strep is a bacteria. Strep in general is a gram positive bacteria that colonizes the oral cavity and in about 25% of women, colonizes the vagina. Colonization is not in itself dangerous, and if you're showing no signs of active infection, I don't understand why they're treating it. Most of the time they only treat women about to give birth so as to avoid giving the baby meningitis.
What antibiotics are they using? The drug of choice for strep (group B in the vagina) is penicillin. It's good they gave you diflucan as well, because the antibiotics could have made the yeast infection worse...
