Honey possesses antibacterial properties as it maintains a moist wound condition.

The high viscosity contained by honey helps provide a protective layer or a barrier against infection.  It also has an immunomodulatory property which is deemed very relevant in repairing wounds too.  It does not have antibacterial  properties but anti-microbial too.
