The health benefits of TH are better compared to other Malaysian honeys. TH is more effective than Manuka honey against some gram-negative bacterial strains in burn wounds management (36,39), probably due to its higher content of phenolics, flavanoids, and HMF. The bactericidal effect of the acidic fraction of TH is greater against some bacterial strains than the non-extracted or non-fractionated fraction (40). TH reduces the growth of wounds infected with Pseudomonas aeruginosa, Acinetobacter baumanii or Klebsiella pneumonia (36), with one study reporting superior healing with a honey dressing than with conventional silver and aquacel dressings (41). These bacteria are a common cause of hospital infections.
