To evaluate the antimicrobial activity of Brazilian honeys against oral microorganisms.
Organic honeys (OH-1 to OH-8) were diluted (%-w/v) and sterilized by filtration. Antimicrobial activity was defined by determining MIC and CBM against oral Streptococcus. The component responsible for the antimicrobial action was defined by a catalase assay. Antibiofilm activity was evaluated against the monospecies biofilm of Streptococcus mutans (ATCC 700610).
OHs showed antimicrobial activity principally OH-1, OH-2, OH-3, and OH-7 with MIC values ranging between 10 and 25%. The mechanism of action occurs mainly by hydrogen peroxide produced by honey enzymes. OH-1, OH-2, and OH-7 showed total biofilm destruction at low concentrations.
Brazilian honeys have promising antimicrobial and antibiofilm activity with the potential to control oral microbiota.
评估巴西蜂蜜对口腔微生物的抗菌活性。
有机蜂蜜(OH-1 至 OH-8)经稀释(%-w/v)并过滤消毒。通过测定对口腔链球菌的 MIC 和 CBM 来定义抗菌活性。通过过氧化氢酶测定法确定抗菌作用的成分。评估了抗单物种变形链球菌生物膜的活性(ATCC 700610)。
OH 表现出抗菌活性,主要是 OH-1、OH-2、OH-3 和 OH-7,MIC 值在 10-25%之间。作用机制主要是由蜂蜜酶产生的过氧化氢引起的。OH-1、OH-2 和 OH-7 在低浓度下显示出完全的生物膜破坏。
巴西蜂蜜具有有前景的抗菌和抗生物膜活性,有可能控制口腔微生物群。
