Characterising the mechanism of action of an ancient antimicrobial, honey, using modern transcriptomics

2020-02-13

Abstract excerpt

Manuka honey has broad-spectrum antimicrobial activity and unlike traditional antibiotics, resistance to its killing effects has not been reported. However, its mechanism of action remains unclear. Here we investigated the mechanism of action of manuka honey and its key antibacterial components using a transcriptomic approach in a model organism, Pseudomonas aeruginosa. We show that no single component of honey c...
