> It is possible to genetically engineer Streptococcus mutans, the dominant human mouth bacteria, to produce ethanol instead of cavity-causing lactic acid I hope it's in such small quantities that it wouldn't cause any alcoholic effects?

Plus, the first sentence. >Michelle Giannotto knew something was wrong with her husband Donato after he had an infection following a simple nose surgery. The guy's name is Donato Giannotto. Not being mean, just fun to say. Edit: not at all funny and irrelevant, apparently.
