| Summary: | The effect of honey and starch was evaluated to determine its synergistic
antibacterial activity against Salmonella typhi and Vibrio cholerae using
minimum bactericidal concentration (MBC). In S. typhi, the MBC for pure
Palawan honey without starch was 25% (v/v). With starch added, MBC dropped
to 23% (v/v). In V. cholerae, the MBC using the same brand of honey was 8%
(v/v); MBC was at 1% (v/v) with starch added. The dropped in MBC with S.
typhi was significant at p>0.0009; in V. cholerae, at p>0.0017. The results suggest
that the introduction of starch can promote effectively the antibacterial activity of
honey against V. cholerae and secondarily with S. typhi. |
