ABSTRACT
This study evaluatesthe antibacterial activity of honey against bacterial strain isolated from wound infections. Given the increasing resistance to conventional antibiotics, natural alternatives such as honey are being explored for their potential therapeutic benefits. The research involved isolating bacteria from infected wounds, identifying the strains and assessing their susceptibility to various concentrations of honey.
The methodology included agar diffusion tests to determine the zones of inhibition for each bacterial isolate in response to honey. Results indicated a significant antibacterial effect with varying levels of activity depending on the bacterial specie and the honey concentration. Notably, certain isolates exhibited pronounced sensitivity, suggesting that honey could be a viable adjunct treatment for wound infections.
These findings highlight honey potential as a natural antimicrobial agent. offering a promising alternatives or complementary therapy in the management of wound infections. Further studies are warranted to explore the mechanisms underlying honey antibacterial properties and to evaluates its clinical applications in more extensive trials.
