abstract={Weak inflammatory response after <i>Salmonella</i> infection can cause persistent infection and facilitate the long survival of pathogens. Honey can induce key immunomodulators such as TNF-¦Á, interleukin-6 (IL-6) and IL-1, that it can be used in the treatment of bacterial infectious diseases caused by <i>Salmonella typhi</i>. The purpose of this study is to determine the effect of honey on the mRNA expression of IL-6 in <i>Salmonella enterica</i> Typhi induced<i> </i>of BABL/c mice. The study used experimental pretest-posttest control design. Honey treatment was given for 7 days commencing after the induction of <i>Salmonella</i> bacteria. 20 BABL/c males mice whose weight 25-29 grams, were divided into four groups where 5 mice per group within; the negative control group was given regular feed without bacteria induction, the positive control group was given regular feed with bacteria induction, 0.27 ml/kg-weight honey group and 0.27 ml/kg-weight of Propolis honey group. Blood samples for examination of mRNA expression was examined three times that prior to the induction, 24 hours after induction and 72 hours after induction of <i>Salmonella</i>. The results showed that 0.27 ml/kg-weight of Propolis honey group showed the highest mRNA expression (<i>p</i> = 0.000) for both after 24 hours after induction of <i>Salmonella typhi</i> (<i>p</i> = 0.000) and 72 hours after induction of <i>Salmonella typhi</i> (<i>p</i> = 0.000). We conclude that there was effect of honey on the mRNA IL-6 expression in <i>Salmonella typhi</i> induced of BALB/c mice.},
