Honey for the Treatment of Gastroenteritis

Cultures of the bacteria were streaked on nutrient agar plates containing various concentrations of the honeys, and the growth of the bacteria was assessed to find the concentration of honey that 

The results showed that honey with an average level of hydrogen peroxide activity is bacteriostatic at 4 to 8% (v/v) and bactericidal at 5 to 10% (v/v). The nonperoxide activity of an average manuka honey is bacteriostatic at 5 to 11% (v/v) and bactericidal at 8 to 15% (v/v). Activity (just bacteriostatic) was not seen with artificial honey unless it was at 20 to 30% (v/v), clearly showing the importance of factors other than sugar and acidity.
