The current problem with synthetic & conventional antibacterial agents, led to the choice of natural products like honey as well as others by the populace, in the treatment of bacterial infections. Honey has been found to possess antibacterial property and is therefore employed for wound therapy. The present study evaluates the antibacterial spectrum and efficacy of honey against Staphylococcus aureus bacteria and was compared same with standard antibacterial drug, Vancomycin. The antibacterial activity is checked by Agar well diffusion method using different types of unifloral honey i.e. Jamun (Syzygium cumini), Lemon (Citrus limon), Ajwain (Trachyspermum ammi). From observation Jamun honey showed most inhibitory effect (zone of inhibition is 36mm in diameter) suggesting its high antibacterial activity and Ajwain honey showed lowest inhibitory effect.
