Single family homes, toilet paper, soap & clean water go a long way toward preventing the spread of such nasty bugs. That said, I think the anti-anti-biotic scare is over stated. Yes, the potential for problems was very real in the recent past...as a kid who took tons of anti-biotics, I know the over use has caused problems. But the idea that some super, anti-biotic resistant, deadly bug is going to wipe out a good portion of our population is still just a dooms-day theory that has not panned out; was based on computer models that, much like global warming non-sense, cannot account for all of the variables that keep us from getting sick.

The problem is that due to our own primitivists crusading against pharma and poor public health education leading everywhere, we're rapidly reaching the post-antibiotic age. That means that anything microbially nasty we haven't absolutely eradicated is going to make a comeback. We're creating antibiotic resistance far faster than we're creating new antibiotics.
