I don't believe that any bacteria will ever be able to become resistant to Manuka Honey because Manuka Honey destroys bacteri different than the way antibiotics do. Manuka Honey draws moisture out of bacterial cells, making it impossible for them to survive. I believe that Manuka Honey is the best substance on the face of the planet for killing bacteria on the skin and healing infection.
