Honey as an Antibiotic: Scientists Identify a Secret Ingredient in Honey That Kills Bacteria
ScienceDaily (July 12, 2010) — Sweet news for those looking for new antibiotics: A new research published in the July 2010 print edition of the FASEB Journal explains for the first time how honey kills bacteria. Specifically, the research shows that bees make a protein that they add to the honey, called defensin-1, which could one day be used to treat burns and skin infections and to develop new drugs that could combat antibiotic-resistant infections.
