Upon hitting google, sure enough, that is one of the suggested treatments.
I'm sure that is being persued as an ongoing treatment as simple as it may sound.
Man - some ingeneous micro-biologist needs to develop a bacterial culture that can be introduced to the digestive tract - and as you said 'kill the bug' once and for all.
May the grace of God guide the minds and hands of those providing treatment.
