Thank you. I just learned something new. Let me ask you then...you think this woman brought it in to the hospital? What's the incubation time...Would it be possible for her to have a normal delivery and then two days later have this happen???

Viruses have incubation periods bacteria do not.

Bacteria are present everywhere. Your skin is covered with them. You have multiple varieties. You also have varieties of fungus.

They keep each other in balance...Your intact skin is the barrier that keeps them out.

Body cavities have mucus to trap and drain them out.
Stomach has acid.
Then there is the Immune system with White Blood Cells that eat this stuff.

You can't live without E.Coli in your gut.

A bacterial colony was to overwhelm all your natural defenses and build up a colony count before you become ill.

The reason yeast infections (fungus, candida) are so prevalent after a course of antibiotics is because you knock off the bacteria that keeps the yeast in check.

2 days would have been plenty of time.
