Abstract |
: |
The study conducted here to analyze the antimicrobial activity of onion juice alone which extracted from red Egyptian onion, honey alone (Langaneza honey, Black Forest) and honey-onion mixture (v/v: 1/1, 1/4, 4/1) with different concentrations 100, 50, 20 and 10% respectively, against 8 microbial species, Streptococcus pyogenes ATCC 19615, Staphylococcus aureus; (Methicillin-Sensitive Staphylococcus aureus - MSSA) ATCC 25923, (Methicillin-Resistant Staphylococcus aureus - MRSA) ATCC 10442, Enterococcus faecalis; (Vancomycin - Sensitive Enterococci-VSE) ATCC 29212, (Vancomycin - Resistant Enterococci-VRE) ATCC 51299, Escherichia coli ATCC 25922, Pseudomonas aeruginosa ATCC 27853, and Candida albicans ATCC 10291 were investigated by broth dilution method. The results showed that onion juice at 100%, 50%, 20% and 10% concentration have a very strong effect on the growth of all tested species of microbes comparing with control and Staphylococcus aureus was the most sensitive microbe. Moreover, Honey at 100, 50, 20 and 10% concentration have a very strong effect on the growth of all species of microbes but significantly less than the effect of onion juice. When studying the effects of the onion-honey mixture with different concentrations, it became clear that the mixture (1/1) had a very noticeable effect on all species of examined microbes.. Results also showed that the honey-onion mixture was significantly more effective comparing with onion or honey alone. [Saad B. AL Masaudi and Mona O. AlBureikan.
