Sher Ali
Hazara University, Pakistan
The study was carried out in Hazara University, Mansehra, Pakistan in 2011 on the antimicrobial activity of honey against specific
microbes which include like E. coli, Salmonella, Staphylococcus aureus, Enterococcus faecalis and Candida albican. During the
study the 37 honey samples were collected from different district of Hazara division and Malakand division like Mansehra Swat
and Dir were selected for the samples collection. For the samples collection process 170 indoor and outdoor patients were visited.
The microorganisms were isolated from the various samples collected from the patients having the confirmed infection which were
further processed in the microbiology laboratory by using nutrient agar incubated on 37oC for 24 hours. During the research work
agar well plate technique were used to examine the maximum zone of inhibition on Muller Hinton agar against all the specified
organisms. Result showed that E. coli showed 66 mm, Salmonella Typhi 62 mm, Enterococcus faecalis 60 mm, Candida albican 50
mm and Staphylococcus aureus 38 mm. From the study it is concluded that honey is used against different diseases and infections
like wound infection, diarrhea, dehydration, paralysis, enterococcus faecalis, chest infection, jaundice, tuberculosis and Urinary tract
infections.
