ABSTRACT
Six samples of Jamaican honey were tested for anti-bacterial activity and other biological properties. Tests involving the incorporation of honey into agar plates were the most satisfactory and showed that a wide range of bacteria were sensitive to honey. The effect depended on the type of honey used, its concentration and in some cases its non-exposure to temperatures above 100§C. The inhibitory effect is bacteriostatic and probably dependes not only on the high osmotic pressure but also on other factors which could include an enzyme-substrate system (AU)
