Research has identified a bacterium's transformation from a harmless gut homebody to a menacing invader.
Thanks to FOEMat his article take on a special precedence with news that a harmless gut bacteria could turn invader.

"Industry, science and government advisers have always played down the risk of this happening and here, at the very first attempt by scientists to look for it, they find it," said Adrian Bebb, GM foods campaigner.

Scientists have identified a virulence region never seen before in the genome of Enterococcus faecalis—a leading cause of bacterial infection among hospital patients. This bacterium lives peacefully in the human gut, but it also thrives on wounds and burns. The researchers identified a group of genes that may contribute to the bacterium's transformation from a harmless gut homebody to a menacing invader.
The potential for GMO transfer to this bacteria seems likely & dangerous.As now new evidence shows the possibility of GM transfer is now a likely occurance. Should this harmless gut bateria recombine we are looking at the menace we have all dreded.
