Honey Can Kill Strong Bacteria

As we known that honey have many benefit to human body. Recent research shows a type of honey used to heal wounds turned out to be a potent medicine has great potential to overcome the super bacteria that are resistant to antibiotics.

As reported by the Daily Mail, manuka honey types effectively kill the three types of bacteria that commonly infect the body when wounded, including among other super germs Methicillin-resistant Staphylococcus Aureus (MRSA).

Manuka honey is a type of honey produced by bees residents in New Zealand manuka tree. Experts have known this type of honey for a long time because often used the products of modern wound healing. The problem is the secret of strength in dealing with manuka honey for a wound is still a mystery.

A team led by Professor Ross Cooper of the University of Wales Institute Cardiff (UWIC), in his research, found that manuka honey was able to prevent the growth of bacteria with an unusual way. This honey can inhibit bacterial bonding process on the network, an important stage in the process of infection.

"Preventing the bond also can inhibit the formation of bio films, which can protect bacteria from antibiotics and let them cause infection simultaneously," said Cooper.

Another study conducted Cooper show, manuka honey makes MRSA become more sensitive to antibiotics such as oxacillin or effectively reverse antibiotic resistance. On this cases honey as antibiotic more function and more strong than general antibiotics.
