Abstract

The current study, honey bee products were used antibiotics the treatment of many diseases affect humans, including treatment against bacteria cause otitis media. The current study included use aqueous and alcoholic extracts honey bee products in treating bacteria isolated from otitis media. The results the study showed the effectiveness honey bee products against Gram-positive and Gram-negative bacteria. The current study included (124) swabs from patients with otitis media visiting Hawija General Hospital using swabs medium then cultured on media (blood agar, MacConkey agar), (96) positive samples (77.42%) and (28) negative samples (22.58%) were obtained. The study included three bacterial species. Proteus mirabilis Staphylococcus aureus ,Psedomonas  aeruginosa, the results showed P. mirabilis is the most sensitive types of bacteria the aqueous extract royal jelly with average diameter of inhibition (23.78 mm) concentration 100 mg/ml, followed by the alcoholic extract of propolis with average diameter the zone inhibition (19.46 mm) concentration 100 mg/ml against S. aureus, P. aeruginosa bacteria, the aqueous extract honey showed inhibitory effect (17.84 mm) concentration 100 mg/ml and lowest average inhibitory effect alcoholic propolis (8.84 mm) concentration 75 mg/ml against P. aeruginosa. While aqueous extract wax did not show any inhibitory effect for all concentrations used against types bacteria under study.
