I hesitate to speak here!  Dr Molan who does this work is only an
hour or so from me, and could well knock on my door to tell me what a
hash I've made of it!
 
I'm not at all sure about inhibine.  Peter has found that most/all
honeys have some amount of hydrogen peroxide activity, which can
account for some of the antibiotic levels.  But there is another
factor as well, with manuka for instance something about 27 times as
much as the hydrogen peroxide could account for.  While manuka has
it, there is always the possibilities that other honeys may be found
as well (amazing amount of variability between the sources).
 
Anyone seriously interested in honey as a healing agent for wounds,
etc, should go see some of Dr Molan's work at
