Study on Antibacterial Efficacy of Different Honey Types in Southwestern Nigeria Against Wound Associated Bacteria

Abstract: Aim:The study assessed and compared the antibacterial activities of different honey types in Southwest Nigeria. It also compared antibacterial potency of the honey with a standard antibiotic. This was with a view to ascertain and providing information on cheaper alternative potent antibacterial product of natural source as well to confirm the antibacterial efficacy of the honey in Southwest, Nigeria. Materials and Methods: The sensitivity testing of honey samples was determined using agar-well diffusion method… Show more

“…These differences are thought to influence differences in honey's antibacterial activity (Parwata et al, 2010). The active compound content of forest honey from Kefa (Table 1) is different from the active compound content in honey originating from Nigeria, namely that it does not contain alkaloids and saponins but contains tannins and flavonoids (Adeyemo et al, 2017). Likewise, the active compound content of forest honey from Aceh is Seulawah honey (Aceh Besar) and Trumon (South Aceh), both of which contain saponins and terpenoids (Fadmi et al, 2015).…”

“…The active compound content of the forest honey from Timor Island is not quite different from that of forest honey from Aceh, Seulawah (Aceh Besar) and Trumon (South Aceh) which also contains saponin and terpenoid, but no alkaloid and steroid (Fadhmi et al, 2015). However, Forest honey from Timur Island has different active compound compared to Nigerian honey which did not contain alkaloid and saponin, but contain tannin and flavanoid (Adeyemo et al, 2017).…”

“…Antibacterial activity of forest honey has been proved by previous researchers. For pathogenic bacteria in human, forest honey can inhibit the growth of Staphylococcus aureus (Ma'ruf et al, 2018;Adeyemo et al, 2017;Nadhilla, 2014;Rio et al, 2012;Hegazi et al, 2017), Escherichia coli (Adeyemo et al, 2017; Indonesian Aquaculture Journal, 14 (2), 2019, 63-68 Aurongze & Azim, 2015Rio et al, 2012;Hegazi et al, 2017), Salmonella typhi, Shigella Sonneie, Vibrio furnissii, Yersinia pestis, Campaylobecter jejuni (Aurongze & Azim, 2015).…”

“…The antibacterial components of honey are hydrogen peroxide, and phenolics (Garedew et al, 2003;Gambogou et al, 2018;Kafaween et al, 2019). The antioxidant activity of honey represents an important added value of honey for use in nutritional and pharmaceutical applications (Adeyemo et al, 2017). The use of honey as medicine and nutrition in humans has been carried out since long times ago (Nayik et al, 2014;Baby et al, 2018).…”
