Here's a helpful hint to the person who answered above:
This is a Questions and Answers site, unless you know your research and answers down to a tee then don't answer. Some people have allergic reactions to specific types of bacterium (For example Penicillin, a bacterium cultivated from mold in Oranges in order to be used as an antibiotic can often be deadly to people who are allergic to it) Not giving people the correct answers not only means you are not informing them but potentially placing them in harms way.
