Proposal for assessment of the antimicrobial efficacy of undiluted medical honey: Using a standardized phase 2/step 2 in vitro stainless steel disc carrier test model

Conclusions It was demonstrated that the proposed standardized phase 2/step 2 in vitro stainless steel disc carrier test model is applicable for testing the antimicrobial activity of highly viscous and undiluted compounds such as medical honey. Undiluted medical honey exhibits a strong antimicrobial efficacy even under protein challenge after 1h, which increases to >6log10 for C. albicans, and >7log10 for Gr+ and Gr− bacteria.
