Antibiotic resistance was described soon after the discovery of penicillin by Fleming. In recent years, there has been an increasing interest in developing alternatives to solve this problem. Propolis «Bee glue» has been used by humans in folk medicine since ancient times, it is a natural resinous mixture produced by honeybees (Apis mellifera) from collected parts of plants. Many studies reported that the phytochemical composition of Bee glue is complex and highly variable and depends on plant species, thus, determining their biological and pharmacological properties. Propolis is considered a potential an-ti-microbial agent that overcomes the phenomenon of antibiotic resistance. Therefore, its combination with standard antibiotics could be a very useful strategy in the medical field, to treat infectious diseases.
Antibiotic resistance was described soon discovery of penicillin by Fleming. In recent years, there has been increasing research interest in the development of alternatives to address this problem. Natural products, mainly, have long been considered as sources of drugs, and a great part of pharmaceuticals available in modern medicine are directly or indirectly derived from natural sources. propolis been used to treat human diseases since ancient times, propolis, is a natural resinous mixture produced by honeybees (Apis mellifera) from collected parts of plants, he is increasingly recognized by their wide range of biological and pharmacological properties, As anti- infective agent, combination synergy with standard antibiotics could be very promising alternative strategy
scite is a Brooklyn-based organization that helps researchers better discover and understand research articles through Smart Citations–citations that display the context of the citation and describe whether the article provides supporting or contrasting evidence. scite is used by students and researchers from around the world and is funded in part by the National Science Foundation and the National Institute on Drug Abuse of the National Institutes of Health.
