Enterococci are part of the normal intestinal flora of humans and animals. They have been long recognized as important human pathogens and are becoming increasingly so. The genus Enterococcus includes more than 17 species, although only a few cause clinical infections in humans.nterococci are part of the normal intestinal flora of humans and animals.

Asthma (AZ-ma) is a chronic (long-term) lung disease that inflames and narrows the airways. Asthma causes recurring periods of wheezing (a whistling sound when you breathe), chest tightness, shortness of breath, and coughing. The coughing often occurs at night or early in the morning. Asthma affects people of all ages, but it most often starts during childhood.
Asthma is a long-lasting (chronic) disease of the lungs and airways (bronchi) that affects 5 people in every 100.In children, this figure is higher and rising. Asthma is characterised by attacks of breathlessness, tight chest, wheezing and coughing which are caused by the airways becoming narrowed and inflamed.ome children grow out of asthma and some people are only affected at different times of the year. However, the period of time during which people may have asthma attacks can last for many years or throughout life. Asthma is not so much treated as it is controlled. As a chronic, long-term disease, there is no cure.
