Antibacterial activity of local honey bee (Apis mellifera L.) propolis against Staphylococcus aureus and Escherichia coli strains
Main Article Content
Abstract
The antibacterial activity of local Apis mellifera L. propolis extract (25–100%) was tested against Staphylococcus aureus ATCC 25923 and Escherichia coli ATCC 25922 using disc diffusion. Inhibition zones increased with concentration, reaching 18.5 ± 0.4 mm and 12.2 ± 0.5 mm, respectively, at 100% extract. The findings support further study of propolis as a natural antibacterial agent.
