and Gram negatives [25]. Honey has powerful anti microbial eوٴects against pathogenic and nonpathogenic micro-organisms (yeasts and fungi), even against those that developed resistance to many antibiotics. Нe antimicrobial eوٴects could be bacteriostatic or bactericidal depending on the concentration that is used [3]. According to Mohapatra et al. [25], methanol, ethanol, and ethyl acetate extracts of honey exhibits in vitro antibacterial activity against Gram-positive bacteria (Staphylococcus aureus, Bacillus subtilis, Bacillus cereus, Enterococcus faecalis, and Micrococcus luteus) and Gram-negative bacteria (Escherichia coli, Pseudomonas aeruginosa, and Salmonella typhi). Honey has bactericidal eوٴect against P. aeruginosa [26]. At Minimum Inhibitory Concentrations (MIC) of 9.5% (w/v), and Minimum Bactericidal Concentration (MBC) of 12% (w/v), honey exhibits bactericidal eوٴect with a 5 log reduction estimated within 257 min. Honey with carbohydrate solutions ≥ 15% (v/v) eوٴectLvel\ inhibits H. pylori [5]. In vitro tests of isolates of Campylobacter spp. are highly susceptible to honey solution
