I have heavy growth of enterobacter gergoviae on my face with inflamed bumps that are pustule like rapidly spreading that itch and burn. My Dr. doesn't seem to be concerned but I am. I'm a healthy 31 year old woman (as far as I know). Is there something I should be concerned about?

Yes, chikungunya is contagious and can be spread from person to person through the bite of an infected mosquito. It is not spread directly from person to person.
Lymphadenitis itself is not contagious. It is typically caused by an infection such as a bacterial or viral infection that can be contagious, but the swelling of the lymph nodes is not spread directly from person to person.

No, elephantiasis is not a contagious disease. It is caused by parasitic worms transmitted through the bite of infected mosquitoes. The parasites live and reproduce in the lymphatic system, leading to swelling and inflammation of the limbs and genitals.
Some enterococci can be treated with penicillin, ampicillin, and vancomycin. Enterococci that are resistant to those drugs can be treated with Synercid.
enterococci
The adjective enterococcal applies to enterococci-- normal bacteria in the intestines.
Coliforms are a type of bacteria commonly found in the intestines of warm-blooded animals, such as E. coli. Enterococci are also intestinal bacteria, but they do not produce gas from lactose fermentation like coliforms. An example of a non-coliform enteric bacteria is Enterobacter aerogenes. An example of an enterococci is Enterococcus faecalis.
