Abstract

An inhibitory action test is conducted in which honeybee body lotion is selected as an inhibitor against Gram-positive bacteria: Staphylococcus aureus and Staphylococcus epidermis. The extraction is done using organic solvents of different polarities to allow the extraction of various active substances against the growth of bacteria, namely methanol alcohol and carbon tetrachloride. The tests are carried out by both methods of discs and drilling using cationic antibiotics ampicillin (AMP) and streptomycin (STRPTO). Results showed less sensitivity to the two types of S. aureus in all extracts, however, the inhibition values appeared to double compared to antibiotics in the event of their positive effect, which are occupied by antibiotics Strep and Amp. The rest of the treatments for the three antibiotics are positive against the two types of bacteria above. For insecticidal solution at concentrations 3.5,4.0, 4.38,3.5 mM mg/ml, it inhibited the growth of all types of bacteria with a range of 3.0-4.5 mm.
