The refinenient ofprocedures to make them more humane should now be an integral part of all scientific research.This is important both from humanitarian concerns and in order to satisfy the requirements ofthe Animals (Scientific

The antimicrobial activity

In this study it was verified the antimicrobial activity of a sample of green propolis originated fromBacharis dracucunlifolia (“alecrim”) against 16 pathogenic microorganisms of the oral cavity (table 1).Microorganisms associated with oral mucosa diseases, dental caries, periapical abscess and periodontitiswere selected for this study. More than 200 different components have been identified in

The aim of this study was to investigate the antimicrobial activity of ethanolic extract and fractionsof Brazilian green propolis (BGP) collected by bees from Baccharis dracunculifolia against 16 oralpathogenic microorganisms. BGP was examinated by Reversed-Phase High-Performance LiquidChromatography (RPHPLC) and its absorption spectra was assessed using UV-Spectrophotometer.Identification of
