Actually, although I find out congress very repugnant in this day and age, this type of staph is prevalent in hospitals, even very clean hospitals. It forms a film over itself that makes it resistant even to bleach, which is known to kill any bacteria on contact. They have recently developed something that will eat off the film and kill the bacteria, thus destroying the colonies that infest hospitals and other areas, doorknobs and walls being the two main areas for this type of staph to congregate.

I would put a snarky comment about how much these a**hats deserve to get this infection and maybe it will clean out the government but I don't want to get banned so I won't.

Good thing you held back on that comment. I am germphobic, so I think I will buy some of that Simple Green D3 stuff and have a spring clean. I haven’t done my doorknobs in ages.

Never was needed. Common garlic, when crushed, performs the removal of biofilms quite well for about 10 minutes or so, until the alicin is oxidized out. What is interesting is that the alicin seems to only kill the pathogens, and not the beneficial bacteria. Gods products are always superior!
