Using Photosensitizers Instead of Antibiotics to Kill MRSA

Researchers from the University of Cincinnati report that they are developing a new method to attack methicillin-resistant Staphylococcus aureus (MRSA) that does not involve antibiotics. Instead, they are using light to activate oxygen, which then wipes out the bacteria. The team says the technique could also be used to treat other microbial infections, and possibly even cancer.The scientists presented their results in Boston at the National Meeting & Exposition of the American Chemical Soci
