Propolis Effective Against Fungal Infections

Comparative Study of In Vitro Methods to Analyse the Antifungal Activity of Propolis Against Yeasts Isolated from Patients with Superficial Mycoses
Letters in Applied Microbiology, 2006 Sep;43(3):318-24

To test a total of 15 strains belonging to four species of yeasts by different in vitro methods against propolis and itraconazole (ITC)…

This study suggests the potential value of the agar dilution and disc diffusion method as a convenient alternative method for testing of yeasts to propolis. This study demonstrated that propolis and ITC were very active against yeasts from patients with superficial mycoses
