As a "zombie expert" myself. I personally believe the exact opposite of what you guys are saying. And at the time of the bite on Hershel, did they have any medical supplies?
Think of the bite from a zombie like the bite from a komodo dragon. There is so much bacteria, that the victim almost always dies from an infection.

The victim of a komodo dragon bite won't die from an infection if it's treated even marginally. A wildebeest in the wild will certainly die, though. That's because a wildebeest doesn't know things like: clean the wound, take antibiotics, get rest, etc...
And yes, they had medical supplies, I believe. They were saving them for Lori's birth. They were also in a prison and knew there was an infirmary (with supplies) somewhere nearby. If it was as simple as an infection (even a super infection), I think they'd bet on finding some antibiotics and cleaning the wound rather than, literally, cutting off his leg to spite his face.
Edit: I've also found out while researching this, that recent research shows that komodo dragons actually are VENOMOUS, not just toxic due to bacteria.
