Antimicrobial Activities of Nest Materials Dolichovespula saxonica (Fabricius,1793) (Hymenoptera: Vespidae) in Turkey
Öz
Organization of bee societies for many years is of interest to many study topic. In this study the antimicrobial activity of diluted with ethanol five fraction nest was assayed in vitro by agar disc diffusion method against 8 bacteria and 2 fungi species.
The ethanol extracts of almost all the nest exhibited antibacterial antifungal activity towards one or another bacterium against to all of microorganism used in this study. The maximum antibacterial antifungal activity was shown by diluted 25 µL (2.5 mg), 20 µL (2 mg), followed by and 15 µL (1.5 mg), respectively. The antimicrobial activities of the extracts of bees nest against bacteria were more effective than those against fungi.
The obtained results show that
nest may be used as possible natural, antimicrobial agents to control various
human, animal and plant diseases.
