Guest guest Posted March 21, 2006 Report Share Posted March 21, 2006 , funny you should bring that up...I was thinking earlier today a I was getting my culture done that... Hmm...kind of strange there is so many of us with staph I'd be interested if we all have the same manufacturer to know that would obviously mean a contaminated batch. Christene > > Hi, everyone.
