The antibacterial activity of honey samples provided by apiarists and honey packers was tested against microorganisms usually isolated from skin wounds. The antibacterial activity was tested using the well-agar diffusion assay. The honey samples were tested without dilution, and at 75, 50, 30, and 10% (w/v) dilution. Most of the undiluted honey samples inhibited the growth of Staphylococcus aureus and Staphylococcus epidermidis. Some honey samples provided by apiarists also inhibited the growth of S. aureus even at 50% dilution. Undiluted honey samples also inhibited the growth of Staphylococcus uberis, Pseudomonas aeruginosa, Escherichia coli, and Klebsiella pneumoniae, although to a lesser extent. No inhibition of Micrococcus luteus and Enterococcus faecalis growth was detected. The diameters of the inhibition zones generated by honey samples provided by apiarists were larger than those generated by honey samples provided by honey packers. This observation may be explained by considering the provenance of the honey samples.
对养蜂人和蜂蜜包装商提供的蜂蜜样本针对通常从皮肤伤口分离出的微生物进行了抗菌活性测试。使用琼脂扩散法测试抗菌活性。蜂蜜样本未经稀释以及按75%、50%、30%和10%（w/v）进行稀释后进行测试。大多数未稀释的蜂蜜样本抑制了金黄色葡萄球菌和表皮葡萄球菌的生长。养蜂人提供的一些蜂蜜样本即使在50%稀释时也抑制了金黄色葡萄球菌的生长。未稀释的蜂蜜样本也抑制了乳房葡萄球菌、铜绿假单胞菌、大肠杆菌和肺炎克雷伯菌的生长，尽管抑制程度较小。未检测到对藤黄微球菌和粪肠球菌生长的抑制作用。养蜂人提供的蜂蜜样本产生的抑菌圈直径大于蜂蜜包装商提供的蜂蜜样本产生的抑菌圈直径。这一观察结果可以通过考虑蜂蜜样本的来源来解释。
