They released tiny droplets containing Staphyloccus aureus, a bacteria related to MRSA, from a heated mannequin simulating the human body.
Staphylococcus aureus is a bacterium that lives harmlessly in the noses of around 20-30% of healthy people in the population.
Like other bacteria, S. aureus mutates at random, and through trial-and-error it will eventually find a way to outsmart any drug.
He then infected mice with lethal levels of S. aureus and injected some of them with doses of his selected rings.
It was only a few years ago that MRSA - Methicillin-resistant Staphylococcus aureus - was a major threat in UK hospitals.

Once the skin barrier is broken, the skin can become infected by bacteria, especially Staphylococcus aureus, which commonly live on the skin.
It was particularly targeted at an especially nasty bug called Staphylococcus aureus.
The woman was infected with a strain of the Staphlyococcus aureus bug.
Seven percent of bills showed traces of bacteria that can cause serious illness, including Staphylococcus aureus and Klebsiella pneumonia, according to the study.

By testing out various combinations of amino acids, Dr Ghadiri found several octets that were particularly effective against the antibiotic-resistant strain of Staphylococcus aureus, a common pathogen.
They infected mice with two bacteria that are both common in lung infections - Pseudomonas aeruginosa and Staphylococcus aureus - and sampled their breath after 24 hours.
Staphylococcus aureus is the bug responsible for many hospital infections, and scientists are worried that some strains were acquiring high levels of resistance to virtually every available antibiotic.
Experts say Methicillin-resistant Staphylococcus aureus, or MRSA, a form of staph resistant to common antibiotics, has become a more prevalent problem in settings such as contact sports that involve skin-to-skin touching.
Of particular concern is a bacteria called Staphylococcus aureus.
The bugs in question run the gamut from fungi, which cause ailments such as athlete's foot, to viruses that cause herpes or a potentially deadly infection known as MRSA, or methicillin-resistant staphylococcus aureus.
