The Efficacy of Honey in the Treatment of Skin Wounds: In Vitro Studies In vitro studies have revealed that honey from diverse floral origins can kill a wide range of wound pathogens, including; methicillin resistant Staphylococcus aureus (MRSA), Staphylococcus aureus, Escherichia coli, Pseudomonas aeruginosa and Acinetobacter baumannii. 15-18 As an example, the work of Cooper et al, (2002) demonstrated that manuka and pasture honey from New Zealand were active against 17 strains of P. aeruginosa isolated from infected burns with minimal inhibitory concentrations (MICs) below 10%.	cache/cajgh-241.pdf	txt/cajgh-241.txt
