ABSTRACT Honey is a healthy liquid. Honey consists of many kinds of material that may
recover human from infectious diseases, like antibiotics. Some infectious diseases like digestive
diseases can be cured using honey. Microorganisms causing diseases are among others
Staphylococcus aureus, Escherichia coli, Shigella dysenteriae, Vibrio cholerae and Salmonella
typhi. This study is an experimental laboratory examination carried out to learn, the antibacterial
activity of honey against Staphylococcus aureus, Escherichia coli, Shigella dysenteriae, Vibrio
cholerae and Salmonella typhi. The antibacterial activity of honey has been tested by the
determination of the minimal inhibitory concentration (MIC) and minimal bactericidal
concentration (MBC) applying the tube dilution method. The result of this study showed that the
MIC and the MBC of honey against Staphylococcus aureus was about 16,6% and 33,33%,
Salmonella typhi 18,88% and 37,76%, Escherichia coli 20,8% and 50%, Shigella dysenteriae
0,179% and 0,3585% and Vibrio cholerae 15,625% and 41,67% respectively. As a conclusion it
was obvious that honey had indeed an antibacterial activity against Staphylococcus aureus,
Salmonella typhi, Escherichia coli, Shigella dysenteriae and Vibrio cholerae res-pecttively.
Honey had the highest antibacterial activity against Shigella dysenteriae while the lowest
antibacterial activity was shown against Escherichia coli.
