Honey is a traditional topical treatment for infected wounds. It can be effective on antibiotic-resistant strains of bacteria. 
</P></LI><li style="margin-left:16px;padding-left: 0px;"> 
	<P>
Honey is produced from many different floral sources and its antibacterial activity varies with origin and processing. Honey selected for clinical use should be evaluated on the basis of antibacterial activity levels determined by laboratory testing.
</P></LI><li style="margin-left:16px;padding-left: 0px;">
	<P>The antibacterial properties of honey include the release of low levels of hydrogen peroxide. Some honeys have an additional phytochemical antibacterial component.
</P></LI><li style="margin-left:16px;padding-left: 0px;">
		<P>Many authors support the use of honey in infected wounds and some suggest its prophylactic use on the wounds of patients susceptible to MRSA and other antibiotic-resistant bacteria.
