Impressive PR from a distributor. If Staph Attack is really this effective, I would expect to see considerable demand from schools and hosipitals. I live with 20 miles of PURE Bioscience, plan to do some DD "soon".

Enviroguard Technologies Distributes Hard Surface Disinfectant That Kills MRSA
TULSA, Okla., Oct. 30 /PRNewswire/ -- Enviroguard Technologies LLC, distributors of Staph Attack(TM), a new hard surface disinfectant containing PURE Bioscience's (OTC Bulletin Board: PURE - News) patented silver dihydrogen citrate, has announced the initial distribution of Staph Attack and reports from customers of substantial success with the surface disinfectant that kills resistant forms of staph. Tulsa County Jail reports that it has completely eliminated Staph infections, including MRSA, in its facilities and is seeing continued benefit from added convenience and cost savings following the adoption of Staph Attack.
Shipments of the disinfectant distributed by Enviroguard Technologies were sent to a variety of institutional customers including the Tulsa County Jail. The jail, with its 1700 cells and over 1500 inmates, has historically faced challenges with a resistant form of staph known as Methicillin Resistant Staphylococcus Aureus (MRSA). Prior to use of the new disinfectant, the facility experienced, on average, 12 cases of Staph infection every month.
According to Tulsa County Sheriff, Stanley Glanz, "We have been fighting Staph infections for some time now, and in our best efforts using previous products, we were unable to contain or stop the presence of MRSA. Since we started using Staph Attack two months ago, we have not had one new case of bacterial infection, including MRSA. The fact that Staph Attack is non-toxic and doesn't require the use of gloves or masks during application has been a great cost saving benefit and is far more convenient to use."
Enviroguard Technologies' CEO, D. Michael Sitton, added, "Resistant forms of Staph have become pervasive in our society and are impacting everything from prisons, to schools, to hospitals. For example, since the first reported episode of MRSA infection in the U.S. in 1968, the proportion of the bacteria causing infections in hospitalized patients has risen from 2% in 1974 to about 40% in 1997. Staph Attack is a safe and effective way for institutions to combat those kinds of growing numbers."
Staph Attack is the silver-based hard surface disinfectant created by PURE Bioscience and distributed by Enviroguard Technologies specifically for closed populations where resistant bacteria are becoming increasingly problematic, e.g. hospitals, prisons, schools, etc. Staph Attack carries EPA-registered claims against Methicillin-resistant Staphylococcus aureus (MRSA) and Vancomycin resistant Enterococcus faecium (VRE), while maintaining the Category IV lowest-toxicity EPA rating. It kills the potentially deadly bacteria in just two minutes time and does not require rinsing.
How does it work? Silver dihydrogen citrate (SDC), is an electrolytically generated source of stabilized ionic silver. In one of the mechanisms of action, the bacteria views the molecule as a food source, and once the organism consumes it, SDC destroys the bacteria by disabling proteins and halting its metabolic and reproductive functions. SDC is colorless, odorless, tasteless, non-caustic and formulates well with other compounds. As a platform technology, SDC is distinguished from competitors in the marketplace because of its superior efficacy, reduced toxicity and the inability of bacteria to form a resistance to it.
