A new research conducted by the University of Strathclyde, says that bees can contain the key to create drugs against resistant S. aureus, Sify News.
It turns out that propolis can have a negative effect on staphylococcus aureus. Commented the head of the study, Dr. Veronique Sidel: "Staphylococcus is extremely dangerous. At the moment, there is an antibiotic that cures it, called vancomycin, but new strains do not respond to an antibiotic.
Therefore, there is always a need to develop new drugs ".
It is known that propolis is an excellent antiseptic, but until recently no research has been done on its effect on staphylococcus aureus. Now scientists have tested the effect of propolis on 15 strains of staphylococcus and isolated two compounds "propolin C" and "propolin D", which showed themselves well in the fight against staphylococcus and can form the basis of new drugs.
