Well, off the top of my head I'd have to say, "I don't know". It very well may. Without knowing it's chemical composition I really couldn't make an educated comment on that. And I've not kept up much on the research in that area.
DISCLAIMER -- I am not a doctor and this is not medical advice -- but I did stay in a Holiday Inn Express the other night !!! I'm not discrediting Herbal remedies, but I'd be more inclined to trust good old penicillin or tetracycline if I were exposed. There are actually numerous antibiotics that have great efficacy against this type of bacterium. Now, I'm not advocating taking any antibiotic without advice of a physician (there are many here in Arizona, and other border states that will do just that due to the ready supply of antibiotics available from Mexico without a prescription). This leads to antibiotic resistant strains of bacteria that are quite nasty... As for taking the herbal remedy prophyllactically, that is up to you. It probably wouldn't hurt. But I would definitely let your doctor know of any herbal supplements you are taking if you do ever need antibiotics or other drugs. Just because they are "natural herbal essences" doesn't mean they're not drugs...
