Abstract

The principal objective of this study was to determine whether the honeys produced in apiaries located in Pomeranian Voivodeship (Northern Poland) contain bacteria producing metabolites with growth inhibition potential against important human and animal pathogens. The pathogens included Staphylococcus aurues, Staphyloccocus epidermidis, Escherichia coli, Listeria monocytogenes, Pseudomonas aeruginosa, and Candida albicans. From 12 samples of honey, 163 strains of bacteria were isolated. Activity against reference staphylococci: S. aurues ATCC 25923; S. aureus ATCC 29213; S. epidermidis 12228 was observed in 33 (20.3%), 38 (23.3%), and 41 (25.1%) isolates, respectively. High inhibitory activity was also found against Listeria monocytogenes ATCC 7644 in 34 strains (20.9%). Activity against Candida albicans ATCC 10231 and especially Gram-negative bacteria: Pseudomonas aeruginosa ATCC 27857 and Escherichia coli ATCC 25922 was rarely observed. Production of metabolites exhibiting activity against the three pathogens mentioned above was confirmed for 13 (7.8%), 3 (1.8%), and 2 (1.2%) isolates, respectively. Forty-six isolates were selected for further analysis. Within this group, metabolites synthesized by 18 producing strains (39.13...Continue Reading

Antifungals

An antifungal, also known as an antimycotic medication, is a pharmaceutical fungicide or fungistatic used to treat and prevent mycosis such as athlete's foot, ringworm, candidiasis, cryptococcal meningitis, and others. Discover the latest research on antifungals here.

Candida albicans

Candida albicans is an opportunistic, fungal pathogen of humans that frequently causes superficial infections of oral and vaginal mucosal surfaces of debilitated and susceptible individuals. Discover the latest research on Candida albicans here.

Candidiasis

Candidiasis is a common fungal infection caused by Candida and it can affect many parts for the body including mucosal membranes as well as the gastrointestinal, urinary, and respiratory tracts. Here is the latest research.
