“…Propolis has been identified and used by humans as a folk medicine since 300 B.C. It is reputed to possess multiple biotherapeutic properties, such as anticancer, antioxidant, antimicrobial, antiviral, and immunomodulatory functions [12,55,88,124,199]. In ancient Egypt, propolis was essentially used as an antiputrefactive agent to embalm corpses [7].…”

“…In ancient Egypt, propolis was essentially used as an antiputrefactive agent to embalm corpses [7]. Propolis was also adopted by the Persians, Greeks, Romans, and Incas in folk medicines to treat various maladies [38,106,199]. The physicians in Greek and Rome mainly used propolis as a mouth antiseptic and created poultices for wound therapy purposes [17].…”

Bee propolis has been touted as a natural antimicrobial agent with the potential to replace antibiotics. Numerous reports and reviews have highlighted the functionalities and applications of the natural compound. Despite much clamor for the downstream application of propolis, there remain many grounds to cover, especially in the upstream production, and factors affecting the quality of the propolis. Moreover, geopropolis and cerumen, akin to propolis, hold promise for diverse human applications, yet their benefits and intricate manufacturing processes remain subjects of intensive research. Specialized cement bees are pivotal in gathering and transporting plant resins from suitable sources to their nests. Contrary to common belief, these resins are directly applied within the hive, smoothed out by cement bees, and blended with beeswax and trace components to create raw propolis. Beekeepers subsequently harvest and perform the extraction of the raw propolis to form the final propolis extract that is sold on the market. As a result of the production process, intrinsic and extrinsic factors, such as botanical origins, bee species, and the extraction process, have a direct impact on the quality of the final propolis extract. Towards the end of this paper, a section is dedicated to highlighting the antimicrobial potency of propolis extract.

“…Aeromonas hydrophila [9]. The inhibitory effect of plant extract on Saprolegnia parasitica growth was examined in vitro conditions, and its anti fungal property was applied by using the extract in treatment water [10,11]. Curcumin's antibacterial, anti fungal, and toxic activities on Saprolegnia parasitica were confirmed [12].…”

Common carp [Cyprinus carpio L.] eggs in fish hatcheries can be severely infected by water molds, especially Saprolegnia. The current study was conducted to investigate the efficacy of alcoholic turmeric [Curcuma longa L. extract as a prophylactic measure to prevent infection during the incubation period instead of Malachite Green as an eco-friendly method. Fungi were isolated and identified during the treatment time of the artificial propagation spring season of carp fish 2021; Curcumin was extracted from turmeric [Curcuma longa L.] by silica gel column for the removal of essential oil, and its concentration was determined and compared with the standard by HPLC. The percentage of infected eggs, non-infected eggs, hatching eggs, and larvae survival rate after seven days of incubation were estimated. Saprolegnia spp. were isolated and identified depending on their morphological features. Deferment concentrations of Curcumin were used [250,500 and 1000] mg\L. There is no significant difference between treatments, but all concentrations are significantly different from Malachite Green. The percentage rate of infected eggs was 0.9±2.2, and non-infected eggs were 98.8±0.4 hatching rate was 55.3± 1.4, and larvae survival rate was 90.4±1.7. Alcoholic extract of Curcumin proved its efficacy as an eco-friendly compound to be successfully used as a prophylactic treatment of carp eggs in the hatchery.

This research is aimed at investigating the inhibitory essential oils activity of thyme, clove, cinnamon, ginger and garlic plants against some positive and negative gram pathogenic bacteria (Escherichia coli, proteus spp., Staphylococcus epidermidis, Staphylococcus aureus) by using the disk diffusion method And compares this activity with the activity of standard antibiotics, then study the synergistic and antagonistic effect between these essential oils with the antibiotics used against these bacteria. The results represented the effectiveness of all essential oils on the studied bacteria to varying degrees, except the clove oil, which doesn't show any inhibitory effect on E.coli and S.epidermidis. In contrast, cinnamon oil had the most inhibiting impact on all the bacteria studied. While garlic and ginger oil showed the lowest Inhibitory, thyme oil showed a strong inhibitory effect on E.coli and a moderate effect on other studied bacteria. Also, the results showed the synergistic effect between most essential plant oils and most antibiotics against most bacterial strains. The antagonistic effect was between essential oils with a few studied antibiotics toward some bacterial strains. Keywords: plant, essential oils, bacteria, the inhibitory effect
