Summary
The bibliographical data show that the most strong activity on pathogenic microorganisms isolated from infected wounds have the New Zealand honey manuka and meadow honey. The above mentioned honeys inhibited the growth of strains Staphylococcus aureus, Enterococcus, Pseudomonas aeruginosa and Sterotrophomonas maltophilla in concentration 2.0-14.1%. The high antibacterial activity against strains of sterotrophomonas maltophilla has a slovakian honeydew inhibiting the growth in concentration 9.5%. The varieties of Indian honeys showed the low antibacterial activity. They inhibited the growth of Staphylococcus aureus and Pseudomonas aeruginosa in the concentration range 15-25%.
The presented data have only cognitive value, because in practice each honey applied on infected wounds and ulceration inhibit the growth of pathogenic microorganisms. If we consider that the initial honey concentration is 100%, after dilution with organic fluids and secretions in wound up to half (50%) will be sufficient for the growth inhibition and total fighting of all pathogenic microorganisms including the resistant strains to antibiotics used in therapy. A variety of clinical studies have demonstrated the good therapeutic results of market honeys origin from various countries of the world. Usually the infected wounds under influence of honey become sterile during of 7-14 days.
