Guest guest Posted August 1, 2008 Report Share Posted August 1, 2008 Manuka Honey Effective in Eradicating MRSA Super Bugs Bacteriological Changes in Sloughy Venous Leg Ulcers Treated with Manuka Honey or Hydrogel: an RCT Journal of Wound Care, Vol. 17, Iss. 6, 29 May 2008, pp 241 - 247 http://apitherapy.blogspot.com/2008/08/manuka-honey-effective-in-eradica\ ting.html <http://apitherapy.blogspot.com/2008/08/manuka-honey-effective-in-eradic\ ating.html> Objective: To determine the qualitative bacteriological changes that occurred during a four-week treatment period with either manuka honey or a hydrogel dressing. This was the secondary outcome of a randomised controlled trial (RCT) that compared the efficacy of the two treatments in desloughing venous leg ulcers… Conclusion: Manuka honey was effective in eradicating MRSA from 70% of chronic venous ulcers. The potential to prevent infection is increased when wounds are desloughed and MRSA is eliminated. This can be beneficial to prevent cross-infection.
