: Hi Bloomer
: I kinda thought it was hospital acquired stuff they were swabbing for. Glad they've found the right antibiotics to get rid of these horrible bugs. Still can't believe that doc had you hanging around while they waited for the results, instead of getting you into hospital for treatment.

: Hope you feel much better soon. Here's a link about these kind of infections - there's plenty more.

P.S. If the figures in the link came from a survey done in 1986-88 the percentages of incidence will at least have doubled by now.
