FILE - In this Thursday, Dec. 15, 2016 file photo, Pope Francis is surrounded by children as he speaks with patients and caregivers from the Vatican's Bambino Gesu Pediatric Hospital. During the audience in the Vatican's Paul VI hall, Francis exhorted hospital staff not to fall prey to corruption, which he called the “greatest cancer” that can strike a hospital. “Bambino Gesu has had a history that hasn't always been good,” the pope said, jettisoning his prepared remarks to decry the temptation to “transform a good thing like a children's hospital into a business, and make a business where doctors become businessmen and nurses become businessmen, everyone's a businessman!” (AP Photo/Alessandra Tarantino)

This illustration made available by the Centers for Disease Control and Prevention in Atlanta depicts Pseudomonas aeruginosa bacteria. In March 2011, at a time when Bambino Gesu’s cancer program was expanding, a 4-year-old with acute leukemia came down with an infection. Over the following 21 months, another 26 children caught the same superbug, an extremely drug-resistant form of Pseudomonas aeruginosa, one of the leading causes of blood infections and pneumonia in hospitals. Eight children died as the hospital worked to get the bug under control. (CDC via AP)
