And I don't mean the French !!!
Killer hospital bug MRSA could be wiped out thanks to frogs say scientists.
They have developed a treatment using a substance produced by American bullfrogs.
It could slash the 2,000 MRSA deaths a year in the UK if used when dressing wounds and cleaning wards, reports The Sun.
Researchers at Scotland's St Andrews University said the frogs produce a antimicrobial protein called ranalexin.
When combined with the enzyme lysostaphin it had a "potent and significant" effect on MRSA.
Microbiologist Dr Peter Coote, who led an 18- month study, said: "They kill the organism quickly and effectively.
"We've shown that it works in the lab, now we want to see if it would work in hospitals."
The team has applied for more state funding to continue their research and have taken the idea to drugs firms.
