Could this PAINT wipe out hospital-acquired superbugs?

Tests reveal new product 'kills 99% of harmful bacteria that triggers MRSA and E.coli'

A new pot of paint could prove the latest tool in the war on hospital superbugs, destroying potentially life-threatening infections within two hours of exposure.

The product does not merely inhibit the growth of common bacteria, but has the power to kill the dangerous microbes, experts said.

Marketed as Paint Shield, experiments found it kills more than 99 per cent of virulent strains that can trigger MRSA and E.coli.

The paint can be applied to interior hard, non-porous ceilings, walls, doors and trim.
