Mike,

That is what I understand the value is. The test will allow the doctor to better target treatment and avoid prescribing anti biotics when they are not appropriate. HMOs are a target for cost savings.

Nice segment yesterday afternoon (PST) with the CEO. Mostly hype until Glaxo and Roche get hot with therapeutics, but nice segment.

Mike, I think the value of the test may be more in relation to the elderly and the suscptible people being exposed to the risk of infection from contact with their health care provider..maybe it will be important to screen workers in hospitals and nursing homes, etc..and maybe it can be used by HMO's to avoid overprescribing antibiotics.
