An In Vitro Study of Different Types of Greek Honey as Potential Natural Antimicrobials against Dental Caries and Other Oral Pathogenic Microorganisms. Case Study Simulation of Oral Cavity Conditions

To study the antibacterial effect of different Greek honeys, samples citrus honey, Saturja spp. Honey, and oregano sage honey were collected directly from producers. Manuka artificial used as controls. The honeys diluted in various concentrations to determine minimum inhibitory concentration (MIC) also placed agar wells zones growth. bacteria tested two reference strains five pathogens isolated patients with dental ailments. A series saliva instead distilled water simulate conditions oral cavity. results show that most cases particularly outperformed activity manuka against all bacteria. This performance was due hydrogen peroxide well other components is, peptides substances such phenolic compounds flavonoids. Artificial enhanced comparison water.
