A British company says it has developed a new method of fighting the MRSA bug in hospitals.
Chemists at Solutions 21, in Redditch, Worcestershire, have developed cloths which they say kill the bacteria responsible for the infection.
The cloths are being trialled in a number of hospitals across the UK, including two in Birmingham.
A company spokesman said it had also found a "cure for MRSA" but needed £1.5m to test it.
Chief chemist Tony Lockett said: "The solution has worked in curing MRSA in tests carried out in our own laboratory but it has to then undergo 18 months of tests before it can be available publicly which will cost a lot of money."
