"limits placed on doctors,hospitals and patients by their national health laws could be to blame."

I work in the health care field. C-diff and MRSA are or used to be primarily caused by lack of proper infection control procedures. However, I know there are more cases of MRSA arising in the general population, although this article seems to address infections due to hospital stays.

Hmmm...I wonder if cases acquired "in the community" are found mainly among those with immune systems compromised by TB and/or HIV.
