This project explores the antimicrobial power of Manuka honey at various MGO levels against Streptococcus mutans, a primary cause of dental caries. Through Kirby Bauer Well Diffusion tests, the team evaluates the effectiveness of different honey concentrations in inhibiting bacterial growth, with the aim of identifying new, natural preventive measures for tooth decay Potential Impact: With dental caries affecting billions worldwide, this study’s results could pave the way for using Manuka honey as a natural alternative or complement to traditional dental treatments. This could not only reduce reliance on synthetic antimicrobials but also promote a sustainable, accessible option for dental health maintenance—especially valuable in communities with limited access to conventional dental care. Budget: Approx. $484 for bacterial cultures, honey samples, and agar media supplies
