Sorry jefoss but it's perfectly true. We take our own MRSA in there with us, which is why Dutch hospitals screen patients when they arrive and segregate those infected..
"What is MRSA?
MRSA is a bacterium, which is resistant to the more widely used antibiotics. It is found on the skin or in the nose of up to 40% of people without causing harm. However, in some people who have broken skin, (such as patients who have had an operation), it can cause boils and wound infection."

The truth is out there jefoss - you just have to look for it.
