19. MRSA is incredibly common in the general population.

It is usually transmitted by physical contact with a person or object which is contaminated. But, airborne transmission is possible. There are different strains of MRSA and an individual's immune system is a huge variable. It seems like it would be difficult to infect an non-hospitalized individual's nasopharynx without their knowledge, but a close reading of the passage you quoted makes it seem that he developed MRSA as a nosocomial, or hospital acquired, infection. This would be fairly common.

I think that the question is why did he develop trouble breathing. I've been a registered nurse since 1983. When I worked on the High Plains it was very common for people with chronic obstructive pulmonary disease to have trouble breathing during spring storms with the change in barometric pressure from large storms. It certainly does seem an odd way for an assassin to work.
