Many studies have demonstrated the effectiveness of honey's antibacterial properties. For example, the antibacterial activity of honey has been shown to protect against multi-resistant strains of bacteria including multi-resistant staphylococcus aureus (MRSA) and Pseudomonas aeruginosa. In fact, research suggests that honey may be an effective antibacterial agent for bacteria that were resistant to up to 13 different antibiotics. Related specifically to burn injuries, results from another study indicated that honey may be an effective antibacterial agent and treatment option for burn injuries infected with or at risk for infection with Pseudomonas aeruginosa. Furthermore, unlike other antibiotics used in clinical care, the possibility of developing honey-resistant wound pathogens is rare, even when using high concentrations of honey, according to one study. Results from these studies provide strong evidence for the usefulness of honey's antibacterial activity in the treatment of wounds, including burn injuries.
