Abstract

Honey has significant antimicrobial activity (AMA)[1, 2]. As the quality of honey depends on the composition of pollen, and it can expect a different AMA. Honey samples were collected from 12 different locations in the continental part of Bosnia. Honey samples were taken at the end of the season (September – October 2006.). Microscopic preparations were made for the standard method of pollen analysis. For every sample 300 pollen grains were counted. Each pollen grain has been determined. Antimicrobial activity was tested by diffusion method at Muller-Hilton agar. For that clinical isolates of Staphylococcus aureus, Escherichia coli and Pseudomonas sp. were used. On the edge of prepared pools from strains of microorganisms placed 200µl prepared honey.
