Several recent studies show Manuka honey can be helpful when it’s used on top of wounds and leg ulcers. Studies also show it might fight infection and boost healing. Learn more about this antibacterial honey:
However, not all honey is the same. The antibacterial quality of honey depends on the type of honey as well as when and how it's harvested. Some kinds may be 100 times more potent than others.gives most honey its antibiotic quality. But some types, including Manuka honey, also have unique antibacterial qualities.
One of the major antibacterial components of Manuka honey is a compound called methylglyoxal . MGO comes from the conversion of another compound in Manuka honey known as dihydroxyacetone , a high concentration of which is found in the nectar of Manuka flowers.Honey producers have a scale for rating the potency of Manuka honey. The rating is called UMFrating reflects the concentration of 3 signature compounds found in genuine Manuka honey, MGO, DHA and leptosperin.
The honey used to treat wounds is a medical-grade honey. It is specially sterilized and prepared as a dressing. So the jar of Manuka honey in the pantry shouldn’t be part of your

In vitro synergy between manuka honey and amikacin against Mycobacterium abscessus complex shows potential for nebulisation therapy | Microbiology SocietyMycobacterium abscessusis an opportunistic human pathogen of increasing concern, due to its ability to cause aggressive pulmonary infections (especially in cystic fibrosis patients), as well as skin and soft tissue infections. M. abscessus is intrinsically drug resistant and treatment regimens are lengthy, consisting of multiple antibiotics with severe side effects and poor patient success rates. New and novel strategies are urgently required to combat these infections. One such strategy thus far overlooked for mycobacteria is manuka honey. For millennia manuka honey has been shown to have wide ranging medicinal properties, which have more recently been identified for its broad spectrum of antimicrobial activity. Here we demonstrate that manuka honey can be used to inhibit M. abscessus and a variety of drug resistant clinical isolates in vitro. We also demonstrate using a microbroth dilution checkerboard assay that manuka honey works synergistically with amikacin, which is one of the current front line antibiotics used for treatment of M. abscessus infections. This was further validated using an in vitro inhalation model, where we showed that with the addition of manuka honey, the amikacin dosage can be lowered whilst increasing its efficacy. These findings demonstrate the utility of manuka honey for incorporation into nebulised antibiotic treatment for respiratory infections, in particular M. abscessus . These results pave the way for a change of strategy for M. abscessus management, offering new therapeutic options for this deadly infection.
