Description

The article discusses data on the specific antibacterial activity of royal jelly and rape honey mixtures against antibiotic-resistant microorganisms. The combination of royal jelly and rape honey in a ratio of 1:100 (w/w) in concentrations of 10% and 30% (v/v) changed the sensitivity of a pathogenic E. coli strain – being previously resistant, it has acquired sensitivity after incubation with various antibacterial agents: gentamicin, amoxicillin, chloramphenicol, doxycycline and trimethoprim – sulfamethoxazole. These data could be useful in the future development of effective medicines.
