Lubna Check-In 03/11/2026
Hi! Good day everyone.
I am attaching an article. Can anyone clarify it for me that manuka honey is inhibiting the growth of pseudomonas auriginosa? Does this article mean this? https://pmc.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/articles/PMC4023514/

Lubna,Hello! It would be wonderful if Manuka Honey could heal us.Isolates recovered from biofilm showed sustained, increased resistance to manuka honey treatment when cultured as a biofilm over time. It reads that honey can assist other antimicrobials but can become resistant , as many antibiotics can become resistant as well. More research needs to be conducted on natural products , such as honey that can assist us in fighting these infections. Presently, there are no guidelines for supplemental treatment.
