Bacterio-static or -cidal?

I notice that on subculturing plates of Campys there are different results under different temperatures. This is a test of examining bacterio-static or -cidal of Campys after treatment of honeys, and I found that on 42C plates the Campys don't grow yet they do on 37C. I read some papers pointed that it would be necessarily to incubate freeze or antibiotics damaged Campys under 37C rather than 42C to recover them (that is, in a relatively mild envoronment). Hm, so what does this result mean? Honey is suppressing or killing bugs?
