Research on Eucalyptus Honey:

The use of honey as a traditional remedy for microbial infections dates back to ancient times [1]. The aim of this study was to evaluate the antibacterial activity of Eucalyptus honey oflibyan against multidrug resistant bacteria (MDR) by the method of agar well diffusion. Different concentrations (50.75, 80 and 100%) of honey sample where checked for their antimicrobial activities, using some medically important micro-organisms including Escherichia coli, Pseudomonas aeruginosa, Enterococcus faecalis, Acinetobacter sp and Staphylococcus aureus. The mean inhibition zone produced by honey when applied to gram–negative bacteria and gram–positive bacteria was significantly higher than that of the antibiotic used.

Eucalyptus honey had the highest antibacterial activity bactericidal was against E.coli, this result was in consistent with Chauhan., et al. [15] (2010) who reported that the most susceptible bacteria included E.coli. AI-Namma [16] (2009) also observed that honey has a greater inhibitory effect on Gram negative bacteria E.coli, S. typhi and P.aeruginosa were more susceptible than other test organisms. Results showed that the Libyan (Eucalyptus honey) had great activity antibacterial against all bacteria tested.
