We are locked into a arms race with evolution. One key aspect of this would be to limit any new drugs developed for humans only, and not to be fed to livestock at scale (even when they are not sick). This limits the exposure of bacteria to the adversarial environment so it doesn't have as many chances to evolve counter measures.

Let's not forget that Mitochondria, the power house of the cell, that humans depend on for essential function - are from bacteria.

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?
