i will have the pcr test results very soon. i did run those pics by a handful of people i know at a 3 different labs and they all said as soon as they saw them that is not strep. and it is showing as something similar to what we are seeing on the upper layers but it is not strep, staph, nor myco. and yes myco is not easy but with this (if its the same) myco was ruled out already. all i can say so far is this is A VERY invasive bacteria. i was asked not to post to much until i have results in hand but its VERY... VERY... VERY invasive (words direct from the lab). i again mean no offense at all but 3 VERY qualified people said not strep
