I think it's fair to say that all honey possesses antibacterial properties.

> Honey’s antibacterial properties come from its high sugar content, which changes the osmotic pressure in the applied area, which draws out water. This dehydrating effect prevents bacteria from growing and kills any present bacteria as they require water to grow. Refined sugar by itself posses powerful antibacterial properties, and as it is cheap and easily available today, it is often a very suitable substitute to honey. Manuka honey and raw honey both contain additional antibacterial compounds, which may offer additional health benefits to the digestive system, but are unlikely of offer additional benefits to treating wounds, as sugar alone is a very effective antibacterial treatment.
