Abstract

Honey
bee venom of Apis mellifera carnica with LD50 equal to
290µg/mouse, was analyzed by HPLC (high performance liquid chromatography) to
perform its activity and found that it contains the most important active
compounds which are Melittin (52.1%), Phospholipase A2(11.9%), and Apamin (2.3%)
then tested against selected pathogenic bacteria invitro. The selected
bacteria were Methicillin resistant Staphylococcus aureus (MRSA), Proteus
sp., E.coli ,Salmonella sp., The results showed that bee venom has high
significant effect on Gram positive bacteria (MRSA), and from moderate to low
significance on gram negative bacteria (Proteus sp., E.coli ,
Salmonella sp.) therefore Bee venom could be a promising alternative
antibiotic
