    Bacterial analysıs of marketed and raw honey in Turkey
    (Uludağ Üniversitesi, 2007) Wells, Harrington; Özakın, Cüneyt; Çakmak, İbrahim; Aydın, Levent; Uludağ Üniversitesi/Mikrobiyoloji ve Enfeksiyon Hastalıkları/Tıp Fakültesi.; Uludağ Üniversitesi/Mustafakemal Paşa Meslek Yüksek Okulu/Arıcılık Geliştirme ve Araştırma Merkezi.; Uludağ Üniversitesi/Veterinerlik Fakültesi.
    Marketed honey samples (the products of 15 different firms obtained from superstores), and raw honey (obtained directly from 11 different apiaries from the Black Sea and Marmara regions of Turkey) were analyzed for bacteria species presence. Out of the 26 honey samples, bacteria were isolated in 23. Twice the number of species was isolated from marketed as raw honey. However, neither European Foulbrood (EFB) (Melissococcus pluton) nor American Foulbrood (AFB) (Paenibacillus larvae larvae) was detected in any of the samples. This suggests that sanitary measures and disinfection requirements may not be met in collecting, packaging and labeling honey for marketing.
