Abstract
Aim: To determine the efficacy of manuka honey against multidrug-resistant (MDR) and extensively drug-resistant (XDR) clinical strains of Salmonella Typhi. Materials & methods: Clinical isolates were processed using the Bactec blood culture system, identification and antibiogram by Vitek 2 and antibiotic resistance genes through polymerase chain reaction (PCR). Microbroth dilution assays evaluated the antibacterial activity of manuka honey. Results: MDR and XDR-S. Typhi was susceptible to azithromycin. These strains carried the H58, gyrA, gyrB, blaCTX-M-15 , and blaTEM-1 genes. At 100% honey, the zone of inhibition for MDR (15-23 mm) and XDR (15-24 mm) strains. 18/50 MDR and 14/50 XDR strains inhibited at 3.125 v/v% killed at 6.25 v/v% concentration respectively. Conclusion: Manuka honey could be an alternative option for treating S. Typhi infections.
