[Guest guest]

How is this condition usually treated? Is there a

Dr. Thrahser,

Thank you very much for this post. Can you please explain, under what

potential circumstances these speicies might crop up? Is it related to Carl's

earlier posts about other bacterias that may be found in the coils of air
