Abstract: Propolis extract antimicrobial activity against periodontopathic (ATCC) bacteria was investigated "in vitro". Bacterial strains tested were: Prevotella intermedia, Prevotella melaninogenica, Porphyromonas gingivalis, Actinobacillus actinomycetemcomitans, Capnocytophaga gingivalis and Fusobacterium nucleatum. Minimal inhibitory concentration (MIC) for the strains tested was determined using the method of broth dilution with the propolis extract in serial concentrations. Results showed MIC of 1 µg/ml for Actinob… Show more

“…Based on the previous studies, it is a flavonoids proven ability to destroy bacterial cells that causes inhibition and prohibition of bacterial macromolecule synthesis [13]. The results of this study are supported by tests of propolis from China and Brazil that were also effective to inhibit the growth of A. actinomycetemcomitans [2,14]. When compared to propolis extract from China, the local propolis extract, tested in this study, was less effective in fighting against A. actinomycetemcomitans.…”

“…Pollen, as well as other apicultural products, has gained increased attention for its therapeutic properties, as antibacterial (GARCÍA et al, 2001;PROESTOS et al, 2005), antifungicidal (GARCÍA et al, 2001), anti-caryogenic (ALMAS et al, 2001) and immunomodulatory (GEBARA et al, 2002) effects. Other potential applications of pollen include its use in apitherapy and as a functional food in the food industry due to pollen nutritional properties.…”
