TAILIEUCHUNG - In vitro antimicrobial activity of honey and lemon juice mixture against clinical isolates from patients with respiratory tract infections, Bamenda-Cameroon

Honey and lemon juice are ingredients used indigenously to treat a number of microbial infections. Our aim was to study the in vitro antimicrobial activity of honey and lemon fruit juice mixtures against clinical isolates from patients with respiratory tract infections. Mixtures of honey and lemon juice were prepared at various proportions (90:10, 75:25, 50:50, 25:75 and 10:90% v/v respectively) and tested for antimicrobial activity against clinical isolates using agar well diffusion method. MICs and MBCs of the most active test mixture proportion were determined using broth and agar media respectively. Cirprofloxacin (for bacteria) and ketoconazole (for yeast) were used as reference substances. Data were analysed with the help of statistical package for social sciences (SPSS), version 20. Student Newman-Keuls test was used to compare inhibition diameters. Generally, the diameter of microbial growth inhibition zones increased with decreasing proportion of honey in the mixtures. | In vitro antimicrobial activity of honey and lemon juice mixture against clinical isolates from patients with respiratory tract infections, Bamenda-Cameroon
