New High Tech Tool Working to Combat Superbugs at Hospitals

Antibiotic resistant superbugs are on the rise in hospitals. A new “superbug zapper” is being used at UCLA Medical Center. The high-tech tool works by bathing hospital rooms with pulses of high-intensity UV light, which kills virtually all of the bacteria doctors are most concerned about. Dr. Bruce Hensel reports for the NBC4 News at 5 p.m. on May 20, 2013.
