Does synergy between oxacillin and manuka honey sensitize methicillin-resistant Staphylococcus aureus to oxacillin?
Microarray analysis showed that exposure of MRSA to inhibitory concentrations of manuka honey resulted in down-regulation of mecR1. Here we demonstrated that subinhibitory concentrations of honey in combination with oxacillin restored oxacillin susceptibility to MRSA. Other honey and antibiotic combinations must now be evaluated.
An unlikely probability Hamilton Score and a negative immunochromatographic D-dimer reliably exclude both proximal and isolated calf DVT.
