ABSTRACT

 

In vitro antibacterial activity of methanol and ethanol extracts of raw and processed honey was tested against Gram positive bacteria (Staphylococcus aureus, ) and Gram negative bacteria (Escherichia coli, Streptococcus pyogen). Both types of honey showed antibacterial activity against tested organisms with the zone of inhibition (ZOI) ranging from 6.94 to 37.94 mm, while E. coli, and showed that sensibility towards all the extracts with ZOI ranges between 13.09 to 37.94 mm. The methanol extract showed more potent activity than other organic extracts. Gram-negative bacteria were found to be more susceptible as compared to Gram-positive bacteria except Staphylococcus aureus. The study showed that honey has antibacterial activity (bacteriostatic and bactericidal effect), similar to antibiotics, against test organisms and provides alternative therapy against certain bacteria.
