Determining the effect of a natural compound extracted from honey to check its antimicrobial efficacy i.e bactericidal and bacteriostatic effect on pathogenic organisms. Novel Bioactive component extracted from honey and its effectivity were determined by measuring the zone of clearance (mm) through the agar diffusion method (1 group and 20 samples per group by keeping threshold 0.05 and G power 80%, coincidence interval 95%, and enrollment ratio as 1) using kanamycin (30) as a control for a different time 24 Hrs, 48 Hrs, and 72 Hrs at 37°C. Promising results were found in the Staphylococcus aureus (P<0.001) zone of clearance and no significance was detected for E.coli and Pseudomonas. Compared to 10% compound application where 9% bacterial growth was recorded the addition of 100% compound approximately inhibits 99% bacterial growth. For S.aureus honey was found really effective. Novel bioactive compound from honey was found very effectively only on pathogenic staphylococci and can be used as a natural component with antimicrobial efficacy in the field of medicine.
