L-Mesitran fights antibiotic resistant bacteria in ear infections in dogs
(28.10.2015) Antibiotic resitant bacteria are effectively killed with L-Mesitran in ear infections in dogs. These remarkable results come from groundbreaking research from the faculty of Veterinary Medicine in Portugal.
Research is done on 15 dogs, all pets. All the dogs are diagnosed with ear infections caused by a bacteria or fungus. Treatment consists of only 1ml L-Mesitran® Soft daily per ear.
70% of the dogs are cured within 7 to 14 days. Within 21 days, 90% of the dogs are cured. Even with resistant bacterial strains, honey shows to be effective.
The results of this study show the impact of the use of medical grade honey. It relieves rapidly clinical signs and speeds up the healing process. Meanwhile it successfully eliminates infection, including those caused by antibiotic resistant bacteria. It is a therapeutic alternative for the treatment of chronic wounds and infection control.
This study is done by Dr. Emi Maruhashi at the University of Lisbon Faculty of Veterinary Medicine in Portugal. She will present this study at the Joint Meeting of the European Tissue Repair Society (ETRS) with the Wound Healing Society from 21-23 October 2015 in Copenhagen, Denmark.
