Abstract
An inhibitory action test was conducted in which honey bee body lotion was selected as an inhibitor with extracts of the following insects, social insects. Test experiments on Gram-negative bacteria, Escherichia coli and Pseudomonas auroginosa. The solvents are polar ethanol and hexane. The tests were carried out by both methods of discs and drilling. cationic antibiotics (AMP) Ampicillin and (STRPTO) streptomycin. As for the results that showed less sensitivity to the two types of Ps. Aruginosa. In all extracts, however, the inhibition values appeared to double compared to antibiotics in the event of their positive effect, which were occupied by antibiotics CN and TE by an inhibitor of 18.6 and 14.3 mm against E.coli. The rest of the treatments for the three antibiotics were negative against the two types of bacteria above. As for insecticidal lotion at concentrations. 3.5, 1.0, 2.5 and 5.0 mg/ml, inhibited the growth of all types of bacteria with a range of 5.0-3.0 mm.
Keywords Cationic antibiotics, Gram-negative bacteria, honeybee, inhibitors
