摘要：Honey, a natural product of bees, has been used as nutritious food as well as medicine in ancient time for treatment of wound and burns. It has a healing property and is also very useful in the treatment of infection caused by antibiotic-resistant bacteria.

Fifty-two wound swabs were obtained from private clinics and hospitals. Laboratory work was done in Microbiology laboratory of St. Xavier’s College, Kathmandu, Nepal.
