To determine the efficacy of manuka honey against multidrug-resistant (MDR) and extensively drug-resistant (XDR) clinical strains of Typhi. 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. MDR and XDR- Typhi was susceptible to azithromycin. These strains carried the H58, , , , and 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. Manuka honey could be an alternative option for treating Typhi infections.
评估麦卢卡蜂蜜对多重耐药(MDR)和广泛耐药(XDR)伤寒临床分离株的疗效。
使用 Bactec 血培养系统对临床分离株进行处理,通过 Vitek 2 进行鉴定和药敏试验,通过聚合酶链反应(PCR)检测抗生素耐药基因。微量肉汤稀释法评估麦卢卡蜂蜜的抗菌活性。MDR 和 XDR-伤寒对阿奇霉素敏感。这些菌株携带 H58、、、和基因。在 100%浓度的蜂蜜中,MDR(15-23mm)和 XDR(15-24mm)菌株的抑菌环直径分别为 15-23mm 和 15-24mm。18/50 株 MDR 和 14/50 株 XDR 分别在 3.125v/v%和 6.25v/v%的浓度下被抑制,在 6.25v/v%的浓度下被杀死。麦卢卡蜂蜜可能是治疗伤寒感染的一种替代选择。
