In January 2017, a Nevada woman died after an infection in her leg proved resistant to 26 different antibiotics. According to Dr. James Johnson, professor of infectious diseases medicine at the University of Minnesota, the type of drug-resistant "superbug" found in the woman's leg was just the beginning of what could become a global health crisis. "We're off the cliff," Johnson told NPR at the time. "It's already happening. People are dying. It's right here, right now. Sure, it's going to get worse. But we're already there."

The Centers for Disease Control and Prevention estimates that each year drug-resistant bacteria such as MRSA infect more than two million people nationwide, killing at least 23,000. Translation: Keeping your facility — whether a gymnasium, fitness club or rec center — clean and free of germs is no longer a nicety but a potential matter of life and death.
