| Abstract | Honey is a natural product from honeybees Apis mellifera that was found to possess antimicrobial activity. Pseudomonas aeruginosa is opportunistic, nosocomial pathogen that infects urinary and pulmonary tracts, burns, wounds and also causes the other blood infections. The concentration of reducing sugar (any sugar with aldehyde or a ketone group) and sucrose and diastase enzyme were assessed. Because the antimicrobial activity of honeys is related to their geographical regions or from where they are collected, we compared the antibacterial activity of 15 different samples of honeys against Pseudomonas aeruginosa. P. aeruginosa was not inhibited in low concentration of honey while higher concentration of honey affected its growth. The samples of honey without diastase enzyme exhibited antimicrobial activity in high concentrations. |
