"The antimicrobial activity in most honeys is due to enzymatic production of hydrogen peroxide. However, non-peroxide honey (manuka honey), displays significant antibacterial effects even when hydrogen peroxide activity is blocked. Its mechanism may be the low pH level of honey and its high sugar content that is enough to hinder the growth of microbes. The medical grade honeys have potent in vitro bactericidal activity against antibiotic-resistant bacteria."
