the only hard part is finding a way to only kill the bacteria and not the patient.

I think that's why the scientists are worried.

The whole concept of UV light, the way it kills it in one minute - that's pretty powerful. Supposing you brought the light inside the body, which you can do either through the skin or in some other way?
