I have heavy growth of enterobacter gergoviae on my face with inflamed bumps that are pustule like rapidly spreading that itch and burn. My Dr. doesn't seem to be concerned but I am. I'm a healthy 31 year old woman (as far as I know). Is there something I should be concerned about?

Enterococci can be transmitted through contact with contaminated surfaces, especially in healthcare settings. However, they are not as contagious as some other bacteria, such as Streptococcus or Staphylococcus. Proper hygiene practices can help prevent their spread.

Some forms of enterococci are highly contagious while others are not contagious at all. The ones that cause meningitis are very contagious.
