Hydrogen peroxide of honey antibacterial effect against coagulates-negative staphylococci

Abstract EN

The aim of this study was to determine the minimum active dilution of two standardized type, representative honeys from two bees farm for 7 clinical isolates of coagulates-negative staphylococci.

An agar incorporation technique was used to determine the minimum active dilution, with dilution steps for 1 % (v / v) honey and 5 % (v / v) for sugar syrup .The plates were inoculated with 10 μL spots of cultures of the isolates.

the pasture honey inhibited at mean SD3.2 ± 0.7 % (v / v), 3.3 ± 0.5 % (v / v) for the Manuk honey and 30.9 ± 1.9 % (v / v) for the sugar syrup.

Typical honeys are about eight times more potent against coagulase-negative staphylococci than bacterial inhibition were due to their osmolarity alone, but also the activity of honey by having its content.
