MRSA treatment could be transformed by new precision drug therapy

Radical combination of antibodies and antibiotics could effectively clear up "superbug" infections and TB, as well as reducing harm to healthy microbes
A precision drug therapy that wipes out bugs that hide in the body could help clear up persistent infections that do not respond to standard antibiotics.
The treatment works by tagging antibiotics onto antibodies which home in on pathogens and deliver a lethal dose of drug directly to the heart of the infected tissues.
