Description
Antibiotic resistance is a growing global challenge that requires the exploration of alternative antimicrobial agents. Honey has been traditionally used for its healing and antibacterial properties, attributed to factors such as high sugar concentration, low pH, hydrogen peroxide, and phenolic compounds. This study aims to investigate the antibacterial activity of different honey types collected from local beekeepers in Palestine against Escherichia coli (Gram-negative) and Staphylococcus aureus (Gram-positive). Using agar well diffusion and minimum inhibitory concentration (MIC) assays, we will compare the effectiveness of different honey samples and determine their potential as natural antibacterial agents.
