Scientists develop virus cream to nose out MRSA

A VIRUS-LADEN cream that is stuffed up the noses of hospital patients to prevent the spread of MRSA could be available in two years, it was revealed yesterday.

British scientists are at an advanced stage of developing the cream, which contains a cocktail of viruses that target the deadly super-bug bacteria.

Clinical trials are planned next year following promising laboratory tests in which the viruses wiped out more than 15 strains of MRSA.
