The widespread prevalence of bacterial resistance to currently available antibiotics has led to search for non-antibiotic agent to combat infections caused by these bacteria. The goal of this study was to investigate the antibiotic effect of bee venom against Methicillin-resistant Staphylococcus aureus (MRSA). The results showed significant differences of inhibition zone of MRSA in vitro when increasing the bee venom concentration.
