If i have to rule out which pathogen .. or strain of this</div> <div> resistant bacteria... I use the indole reagent dmaca...</div> <div> I do not use sensitivity plates for diagnosis...of a bacteria!</div> <div> I have a two doctors one a biologist and the other a vet to follow up with any</div> <div> questions pertaining to what I have found...on PVC PIPES! A fact this</div> <div> material (PVC) is carcinogenic for birds.</div> <div> Just because a perch, toy is made from a material and sold...does not</div> <div> constitute the safeness of that product. PVC is to be questioned by you for</div> <div> you sound like or try to sound like you know what your talking about</div> <div> ....however, you do not!</div> <div> Now, why did I do this homework....because I invented and patented a Feeding</div> <div> device and the method for baby birds. I wanted to rule out any plastic</div> <div> problems...along with that came PVC.</div> <div> I was instructed by a noted avian researcher for this task ... about five</div> <div> years ago ...I think!</div> <div> Cherane</div> <div> ---------------------------------------------------------</div> <bR> </td> </tr></table></body>
