Link: MRSA infections: Tougher tha Kevlar from Law Enforcement Technology at Officer.com.
Police Officer Christopher Seggi learned the hard way just how easy it is to acquire this virulent bacteria strain when he responded to a "routine" suspect transport in December 2006. When placing the suspect, taken into custody by the Orlando (Florida) Police Department’s drug team, into his police cruiser, Seggi noticed what appeared to be spider bites on the man’s leg. However, no open sores or bleeding were present. Seggi transported the suspect to the Orange County Correctional Facility and transferred custody without incident – but an infectious time bomb was left behind in his vehicle.
