Antibiofilm Activity of Manuka Honey in Combination with Antibiotics
Figure 4
Scanning electron microscopy of P. aeruginosa biofilms (scale bar, 0.1 μm)—(a) control; (b) 20% Manuka honey; (c) 50% artificial honey (representative images). In these higher magnification views, the matrix was seen only in the control images. The Manuka honey-exposed cell had multiple furrows. The Manuca honey-exposed cell appeared to be trying to divide. The artificial honey-exposed cells appeared similarly furrowed and also appeared to be trying to divide. The control biofilm was composed of many cells; the honey-exposed biofilms consisted of fewer cells.
