New Mexico Honey Wound Treatment Research Study

Status unconfirmed · Phase 2

Conditions studied: Community-acquired Methicillin-resistant Staphylococcus Aureus Infection

In brief

In a time of emerging bacteria that are resistant to antibiotics, honey offers an alternative that has potential to reduce the heavy reliance on pharmaceutical antibiotics. We will be evaluating the effectiveness of a locally produced New Mexico Honey against the standard of care Bactrim antibiotic on Community Acquired MRSA.
