Abstract
The aim of this study was to determine the antibacterial activity in vitro of Melipona and Apis honey against various foodborne microorganisms. The results of qualitative test showed that Melipona honey inhibited both Staphylococcus aureus ATCC25923 and H08M06 strains and both Escherichia coli ATCC35922 and H12K06 strains. Apis honey inhibited both E. coli ATCC35922 and H12K06 strains and S. aureus ATCC25923 strain. Minimum inhibitory concentrations of Melipona honey (5–16%, w/v) were lower than those of Apis honey (15–31%, w/v). This study demonstrated that the antibacterial potency of Melipona honey could be a new alternative for controlling foodborne illness.
