Not sure which way this will proceed. Any ideas?

Maybe it will help identify those different HLA sequences it could cross react with, and so help with the B27 neg conundrum.

Hey, Timo:

Kp is the most common hospital-acquired antibiotic-resistant germ, so it is a logical choice for study; it is ancient, cleverly adaptive, and genetically diverse.

So, I hope they figure out a way to treat resistant infections that will help us--best candidate as far as I am concerned is macrophage therapy, but it requires a large complement of (again, diverse) Kp targeting units to effectively wipe out the infection. However, since this is a very specific method, we can undergo treatment and eliminate AS: THEN the claim "AS is Caused by Klebsiella" will finally be (generally) accepted. Not like it is global warming or something that easy!

HEALTH,
John

Wouldn't that be something if the research could find a way to deal with our upside down system and right the ship. Wow.
