Abstract

The goal of this study is to discuss the potential antibacterial activity of some Saudi Arabia honeys against selected Gram-positive and Gram-negative bacterial strains of medical importance.  The antimicrobial activity of ten Saudi Arabia honeys against five pathogenic bacterial strains which has antibiotic-resistant including Staphylococcus aureus, Streptococcus pyogenes, Klebsiella pneumoniae, Escherichia coli and Pseudomonas aeruginosa. All honeys tested exhibited antibacterial activity against all five bacterial strains with different levels according to the type. The potential activity was differing according the pathogen and honey type. It could be concluded that the results of the current study indicate that Saudi honeys inhibits the growth and survival of bacterial strains and that honey can be used as complementary antimicrobial agent against pathogenic bacteria.
