The honey could succeed where the antibiotics fail in the treatment of chronic sinusitises, believe Canadian researchers of the hospital of Ottawa.

At the time of in vitro tests, the researchers demonstrated that some honeys were not only effective against two bacteria resistant to the antibiotics, but in more that they could cross the biologic film that isolates them. This film is formed by a regrouping of micro-organisms, protecting the colony of bacteria against the action of the antibiotics.

According to the results, of the manuka honey of New Zealand and the honey of Sidr Yemen have all of two destroyed, in test-tube, 100% of the colonies of Pseudomonas aeruginosa and Staphylococcus aureus2. These two bacteria are reputed for their resistance to the antibiotics and are at the origin of the majority of the chronic sinusitises and Rhinosinusitis. When the colonies of bacteria were covered of a biopellicule, these two honeys killed 63% all the same to 91% of the bacteria.

The honeys of clover and buckwheat coming from Canada could not cross film to reach the bacteria. All contain one specific honeys that produces the enzyme of hydrogen peroxide, a recognized antiseptic. The content in this substance can vary from a honey to the other. One ignores what would allow some honeys to cross the biologic film of the bacteria again.

The researchers wish to test the method now among injecting patients while, in the infected sinuses and the nasal ways, of the honey diluted in water, with the help of a syringe.
