ZombieWatch: Experimental TB drug EXPLODES bacteria!

Creating a drug that explodes bacteria from within? From NIH:
An international team of biochemists has discovered how an experimental drug unleashes its destructive force inside the bacteria that cause tuberculosis (TB). The finding could help scientists develop ways to treat dormant TB infections, and suggests a strategy for drug development against other bacteria as well.
And what if it goes out of control and blows up the "good" bacteria in our bodies, perhaps the good bacteria that fights off the zombie virus?
