Test of Antibacterial Potential of Honey from Apis mellifera Bees against Pseudomonas aeruginosa in Vitri
Destination : To determine the antibacterial potential of pure honey against
Pseudomonas aerugenosa in vitro.
Method : This research is an experimental study using Apis mellifera bee pure honey test material with three series of liquid dilution methods at concentrations of 100%, 50%, 25%, 12,5%, 6,25%, 3,125%, 1,5625%, 0,78125, 0,390625% and XNUMX%, one positive control was aquadest and bacterial suspension, one negative control was bacterial suspension with Ceftriazone. In this liquid dilution method, the minimum inhibition rate (MIC) and minimum killing rate (MBC) values were obtained. Data were analyzed descriptively.
Results : Research shows that Apis Mellifera honey has an antibacterial effect with a MIC value of 16,6% and a MIC value of 16,6%.
Conclusion : Pure honey has an antibacterial effect against P.aeruginosa
vitro
Keywords : P.aerugenosa-pure honey-KBM-liquid dilution method
