Antibacterial activity of selected Malaysian honey. BMC Complementary and Alternative Medicine, 13: 129. pp. 1-10. ISSN 2662-7671 (2013)
Abstract
Antibacterial activity of honey is mainly dependent on a combination of its peroxide activity and non-peroxide components. This study aims to investigate antibacterial activity of five varieties of Malaysian honey (three monofloral; acacia, gelam and pineapple, and two polyfloral; kelulut and tualang) against Staphylococcusaureus, Bacillus cereus, Escherichia coli, and Pseudomonas aeruginosa.Minimum Inhibitory Concentration (MIC) and Minimum Bactericidal Concentration (MBC) were performed for semi-quantitative evaluation. Agar well diffusion assay was used to investigate peroxide and non-peroxide activities of honey.
