According to British Researcher, Laser treatment can wipe out super bugs.

Laboratory experiments showed that the laser-activated dye used for medical diagnosis produces bacteria killing chemicals.

It can use for spot treatment of skin instead of infused or oral antibiotics for serious cases.

Their experiment showed that super bugs like Staphylococcus aureus , Staphylococcus pyogenes and Pseudomonas aeruginosa  killed when indocyanine dye,activated by near infrared laser applied on them.

Staphylococcus aureus is methicillin resistant and creates severe infections in lungs and blood stream.

The super bugs are growing problem of worldwide and treated with expensive intravenous antibiotics.In most cases patients have to admit in hospital or healthcare centre.

This type of activated dye cannot create resistance among the bacteria, even after repeat uses.
