My mom picked up MRSA and C.Diff while hosptialized last year at an American hospital. So these superbugs aren’t limited to Mehico health facilities as some on here would like to think.

Yes. My sister died of mrsa contracted in a US hospital. Hospital induced infection is a problem everywhere in the world. Not sure what the point of the article is?
