Comparison of antibacterial properties of Iranian royal jelly with the antibiotic Lincomycine in vitro

Iranian Royal Jelly is the result of submandibular gland secretions in the head of worker bees of young nurses in Iranian colonies, which has antibacterial, anti-viral, anti-fungal, anti-cancer, anti-inflammatory, anti-Alzheimer's properties. Due to the increasing resistance of pathogenic bacteria to common antibiotics, it is important to find natural antimicrobial agents as alternative drugs. In this study, the antibacterial effects of Iranian royal jelly and the antibiotic tramycin were compared. First, the required Iranian royal jelly was collected from the colony horns from the research apiary of the Islamic Azad University, Kazerun Branch, and diluted in the laboratory. Then, the bacterium Streptococcus plutonium, the cause of European bee disease, was cultured in a specific medium and was exposed to various dilutions of aqueous extracts of Iranian royal jelly and tramycin. MIC and MBC samples were determined by disk diffusion test and plate well. The data were analyzed by SAS software. The results showed that although the aqueous extract of Iranian royal jelly had less antibacterial properties compared to tramycin (p <۰.۰۱), but a significant effect on the rate of inhibition and Killing the bacterium Streptococcus plutonium. Blue Iranian Royal Jelly at a concentration of ۰.۳۷ mg / ml was able to eliminate the cause of European onion disease.
