FORBES: More Evidence That Honey Can Treat Antibiotic Resistant Infections

The NIAID has a considerable research program dedicated to fighting antibiotic resistant bacteria and the agency awards grants to deserving companies that focus on the identification of new antimicrobials to fight threatening superbugs.

FORBES: The Antibiotic Bubble -- A Quest For Continued Antibiotic Effectiveness

Last year, some research was published evidencing some effectiveness against MRSA. Now a team from the Cardiff School of Health Sciences has demonstrated the effectiveness of this honey against Streptococcus pyogenes, an antibiotic resistant bacteria that often infects wounds and can prevent skin grafts from forming.
