Antibacterial Activity Of Honey On Staphylococcus Aureusescherichia Coli And Streptococcus Pyogen Isolated From Wound
(A Study of Enugu State Nsukka & Ugwuaji)
Antibacterial activity of honey obtained from two different locations in Enugu State (Nsukka & Ugwuaji) Nigeria on Staphylococcus aureus, Escherichia coli and Streptococcus pyogens isolated from wound was studied. Agar well diffusion method was used to
determine the antibacterial activity of the honey on the test microorganisms. The result revealed that the two honey samples
have heavy antibacterial activities against the test organisms and zones of inhibition were obtained showing high antibacterial
activity. The antibacterial activity increased with increase in the concentrations and honey from Nsukka produced a high
antibacterial activity (clearer zone) on staphylococcus aureus and Escherichia coli at all concentration and moderately for
streptococcus pyogens. The use of honey as a therapeutic substance has been rediscovered by the medical profession on
more recent times, and it is gaining acceptance as an antibacterial agent for the treatment of ulcers and bed sores, and other
infections resulting from burns and wounds.
