CNN Reports : CDC investigates deadly bacteria's link to doctors' offices

CNN reported that the CDC study, published Wednesday in The New England Journal of Medicine, said 150,000 people who had not been in the hospital came down with C. diff in 2011. Of those, 82% had visited a doctor's or dentist's office in the 12 weeks before their diagnosis.

The study reports a substantial number of people contracted the bug who hadn't been in a hospital, but had recently visited the doctor or dentist.

What is your doctor doing to prevent the spread of these infections? 

What if you have been diagnosed with it? How do you get rid of it from your home?
