How Light Turns Ordinary Hydrogen Peroxide into a MRSA Treatment
ENG researchers invent blue light therapy that kills MRSA without antibiotics
Boston University College of Engineering researchers who invented the technique say they have shown, experimentally, it can kill 99.9 percent of methicillin-resistant Staphylococcus aureus, known as MRSA. (Methicillin is a common antibiotic.) In people, MRSA, which often spreads very quickly, can cause skin and soft tissue infections as well as life-threatening sepsis.
