ANTIMICROBIAL ACTIVITY OF PROCESSED HONEY OF SOME RENOWNED COMPANY FOUND IN CHATTOGRAM CITY AGAINST Staphylococcus aureus AND Escherichia coli

Abstract

The research work was conducted to evaluate the antimicrobial effect of 10 honey samples which are of imported renowned company in Chattagram on Escherichia coli and Staphylococcus aureus. The antimicrobial effects were assayed by disc diffusion method in Mueller Hinton agar plate. The effects were evaluated by measuring the zone of inhibition around the discs. Antimicrobial activity of the honey samples was carried out individually where 5 discs of individual samples placed on an agar plate. No noticeable variations in the antimicrobial activity of 10 types of honey were observed. There was no zone of inhibition of honey against Escherichia coli and Staphylococcus aureus. This research work revealed that processed honey doesn’t show any zone of inhibition against Escherichia coli and Staphylococcus aureus
