Tricking bad bacteria while preserving good bacteria.

This is pretty cool. Apparently when scientists use antibiotics to kill infectious strains of bacteria it also could possibly kill helpful bacteria. So in a way this works like Chemo. It does not distinguish friendly from enemy. Apparently some bad bacteria rely on these spores that try to steal whatever they need for their nutrition from the host. Scientists are developing a technique that would fool bad bacteria to stealing something that would kill them when they consume it.

This is a pretty interesting technique. I wonder how far Scientists can go with this idea.
