Journal Title: IOSR Journal of Pharmacy (IOSRPHR) - Year 2017, Vol 7, Issue 10
Abstract
Abstract: Honey exhibits antimicrobial activities against different types of bacteria in world wide. This study aims to analysis the antimicrobial effects of three types of honey (named as S1, S2 &S3) obtained from different places of Theni district, South India against methicillin resistant Staphylococcus aureus isolated from human conjunctiva. Three honey samples are subjected to antimicrobial activity with different dilutions (0%), (25%), (50%), (75%) and (100%) against MRSA method. In 100% dilution of S1 sample showed maximum zone of inhibition (14±0.0mm) was observed. Three honey samples were extracted with various solvents such as ethanol, methanol and ethyl acetate and antimicrobial activities of honey extractions were analyzed. Methanol extract of S1 sample showed maximum zone of inhibition (14±0.0mm) was observed. The MIC of methanol extract of S1 sample showed better bacteriostatic activity at 3.12%. From this study we found S1 sample have better antibacterial activity than S2 and S3 sample against MRSA isolated from human conjunctiva.
