"The results indicate that propolis can be a potential source of a new era of antibiotics that do not only inhibit bacterial growth but can also reduce virulence factors, resistance to antibiotics and severity of infections." 🔥

[International Propolis Research Group @iprg_buzz]

Up now is Alfred Tamfu from Cameroon who is looking at how #propolis can prevent #biofilm formation - vital in the effective treatment of bacterial infections and part of the solution to #antibioticresistance.

[BeeVital Propolis @BeeVitalUK]

Can #propolis be used to treat COVID? This is an active area of research, but preliminary findings are positive!

"The findings of both studies showed that propolis has a high inhibitory potential against the Covid-19 virus." https://t.co/qzHxOKqTHi

[International Propolis Research Group @iprg_buzz]

This afternoon's talks continue with IPRG board member Ali Timucin from Turkey explaining the results of research exploring extraction methods for propolis, in particular the use of lactic acid rather than ethanol and how this impacts bioavailability.
