Competing Interests

All funds for the project came from Sanaria. At the time of execution of the project all four authors were Sanaria employees. One author (R.C.) is no longer a Sanaria employee. However, this does not alter the authors' adherence to all the PLoS ONE policies on sharing data and materials, as detailed online in the guide for authors (http://www.plosone.org/static/policies.action#sharing).
