Abstract
DIAS C, Raísa; BOBANY M, Denise; TAVEIRA M, Marcus Vinicius and ALVES S, Valeria. Antibacterial action of geopropolis of Melipona quadrifaciata in cultivation of secretion of otitis in dogs. Rev.MVZ Cordoba [online]. 2017, vol.22, n.2, pp.5837-5843. ISSN 0122-0268. https://doi.org/10.21897/rmvz.1013.
Objective.
The objective of the present paper was to test the in vitro antibacterial activity of the Mandaçaia (Melipona quadrifaciata) bee’s geopropolis.
Materials and methods.
The experiment was carried out with secretion samples collected from animals with ear diseases evaluated at Unifeso’s Clinic School of Veterinary Medicine, where in vitro tests took place, antibiograns with alcoholic extract of geopropolis were made 10 test tubes (two tubes for each concentration of 50%, 60%, 70%, 80%, 90%).
Results.
Were not identified microorganisms at concentrations of 70, 80 and 90%.
Conclusions.
The geopropolis of Melipona quadrifasciata showed antibacterial activity in vitro against microorganisms from ear secretion of dogs with otitis externa.
