| osmotic effect of honey on growth and viability of helicobacter pylori. | honey from new zealand and saudi arabia at concentrations approximating 20% (v/v) inhibit the growth of h. pylori in vitro. the anti-h. pylori effect involves both hydrogen peroxide- and non-peroxide-mediated killing mechanisms. this study was designed to determine whether the anti-h. pylori activity of honey differed regionally (honey from texas, iowa, and new zealand) and to determine whether this activity was due to the presence of hydrogen peroxide. broth dilution susceptibility tests were p ... | 1999 | 10080135 |
