Hello Alan	
 Your certainly saved my day on this new twist of an enterococcus.
I had seen some info on my news that I get from my server, however,
they decided that it was a pay per view, which I do not have access to.
I work in a clinical micro lab and as a result this info is very
pertinent.
  June
