- Abstract
METHOD After gathering produced honey in Azerbaijan in North West of Iran, the samples were taken to laboratory and were compared with the samples prepared from mono floral honey. The factors that were considered were pH, moisture, antibacterial property etc. These honeys were used on bacterial cultured media and their antibacterial effects were assessed by gel diffusion test method. The positive extracts in the gel diffusion method, were selected and were used in MIC method on the specific bacteria. The selected bacteria were provided through the standard strains. Some of the clinical samples were also selected and the substances taken were compared with the standard strains. The MBC method as a complimentary test was also performed on them. In the above mentioned tests, control (untreated) disks were also considered. RESULT Some differences were observed among the samples with regard to pH and moisture. The results showed that the obtained extracts of Iranian poly floral honey have broad spectrum antibacterial activities, although their efficacy showed diversity on different bacterial species.
