Bee-made propolis boosts an antifungal drug against yeast pathogens in lab tests
Propolis may not only inhibit the growth of certain fungi but also affect the activity of drugs used to treat fungal infections.
AI Summary
Researchers examined whether an ethanolic extract of Polish propolis can influence the effectiveness of antifungal medications. The study tested the propolis extract alongside several antifungal agents to assess any changes in drug activity against fungal growth. Co‑author Piotr Kuś of the Department of Pharmacognosy and Herbal Medicines at Wroclaw Medical University led the investigation. Results were reported in the journal Scientific Reports, indicating that propolis may both inhibit certain fungi and modify how antifungal drugs work in laboratory settings.
