Green tea or tea lotion may have a therapeutic and positive effect better than conventional medicine Framycetin and Cephalexin gramicidin (soframycin) in treatment of impetigo, some scientists suggested.

around the nose and mouth, and on the arms or legs. In some case, it may appear in the facial area.
The disease infects mostly children.
Patients were randomly assigned to treatment group with green tea applied to the infected areas and control group.
These results suggested that the prevalent risk of impetigo is mostly caused by infection of S. aureus.
In examine the 40 patients in control group further assigned to 2 groups received either an ointment containing Framycetin or gramicidin (soframycin), researchers found that Framycetin and cephalexin gramicidin (soframycin) exerted a potential a cure rate of only 72.2% and 78.6%, respectively.
The results suggested that tea ointment or lotion displayed a better effect in treating impetigo in compared to conventional medicine Framycetin and gramicidin (soframycin) without inducing any adverse effects.
Dr. Sharquie KE, after taking into account of other co and con founders said "(tea lotion) demonstrated the anti-bacterial action of crude tea in vivo, against impetigo contagiosa".
In further evaluation of green tea effect in reduced prevalence of skin infection, researchers at the Oakland University William Beaumont School of Medicine Rochester showed that catechins found in green tea have shown promise for having antimicrobial effects, particular in fractions of (-)-epicatechin (EC), (-)-epicatechin-3-gallate (ECG), (-)-epigallocatechin (EGC), and (-)-epigallocatechin-3-gallate (EGCG).
Researchers continued, application of green tea bioactive catechin exhibited a variety of antimicrobial mechanisms and may be considered as a potential for preventive and therapeutic purposes.
In fact, relatively low concentrations of ECG was found to sensitize methicillin-resistant S. aureus (MRSA) clinical isolates to levels of oxacillin.
And, Catechin gallates such as ECG also showed to intercalate into phopsholipid bilayers, affecting both virulence and antibiotic resistance by perturbing the function of bacterial process of invasion.
The results may be attributed to green tea effect in reduced key processes associated with the bacterial cytoplasmic membrane.

However, further data collection on studies performed with human consumption during the course of infections, and studies on the occurrence of infections in populations that consume regular amounts of green tea will be necessary to complete the picture of its antimicrobial possibilities.
