ResumenSe ha evaluado la actividad antimicrobiana de los extractos etanólicos y acuosos de propóleos recolectados en la Huasteca Potosina, en México. Se usaron cepas de microorganismos Gram negativos: Escherichia coli, Salmonella typhi y Klebsiella pneumoniae; y microorganismos Gram positivos: Staphylococcus aureus, Staphylococcus epidermidis y Streptococcus agalactiae. La concentración mínima bactericida (CMB) de cada extracto se determinó con el método de dilución en tubo. La CMB del extracto etanólico fue 0.93 mg mL -1 para las Gram positivas y 7.5 mg mL -1 para las Gram negativas; en el extracto acuoso fue 20 mg mL -1 para Gram positivas y 30 mg mL -1 para Gram negativas. Los extractos etanólicos del propóleo tienen una actividad antibacteriana significativamente mayor que los extractos acuosos, y esta actividad depende de su procedencia y de la especie bacteriana evaluada.

Strains of Gram negative: Escherichia coli, Salmonella typhi and Klebsiella pneumoniae, and Gram positive microorganisms: Staphylococcus aureus, Staphylococcus epidermidis and Streptococcus agalactiae, were used. The minimum bactericidal concentration (MBC) of each extract was determined by the tube dilution method. The ethanol extract was significantly more inhibitory than the aqueous (p ≤ 0.05). The ethanol extract CMB was 0.93 mg mL-1 for Gram-positive and 7.5 mg mL-1 for Gram negative, in the aqueous extract was 20 mg mL-1 for Gram-positive and 30 mg mL-1 for Gram negative. The ethanol extracts have higher antibacterial activity compared with aqueous extracts, and antibacterial activity depends on its origin and on the bacterial species evaluated.
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.
