  If you had an MRSA infection, we would then inject a solution of the cyclic peptides into your vein (normally in your arm) and this would circulte them through your blood delivering them all over your body. When the cyclic peptides reach the bacteria they would interact with them to stop them producing toxins, haemolysins and other nasty stuff. Hopefully this would return them to a state which they maintain when they live on your skin (basically harmless).
  
  Once the bacteria have relaxed and gone quiet, your immune system would find it much easier to kill and dispose of the bacteria and restore normlity to the infected tissue.
