Antimicrobial Activity Of Honey On Staphylococcus aureus And Other Bacterial Pathogens Associated With Wound Infection:- Nwaobia, Hope O.
ABSTRACT
This work investigates the
antimicrobial activity of honey on Staphylococcus aureus and other bacterial
pathogens associated with wound infection. The samples collected from patients
with various kinds of wound at the Federal Medical Center (FMC), Umuahia, were
inoculated at specific agar media that supported the growth ofthe pathogens
associated with wound infection. Honey type sensitivity agar media prepared at
decreasing concentration of 100%, 80%, 60%(control), 40%, 20%, 10% and 5%,
containing the isolates as the inocula were incubated at 37OC for 24 hours and
the Minimum Inhibitory Concentration (MIC) at the honey concentrations of
interest were measured. The MIC was observed to decrease with decrease in
concentration of honey. This implies that honey has some measurable level of
antimicrobial activity on Staphylococcus aureus and other bacterial pathogens
associated with wound.
