*Definition: Propolis is a product of the transformation of resin by bees. This process can occur inside or outside the hive. However, some researchers claim that some bees do not collect propolis, and they may use other products instead. Propolis can inhibit the growth of Gram-negative and Gram-positive bacteria. The effectiveness of propolis against these bacteria is largely dependent on the type of propolis and its concentration. The anti-bacterial effects of propolis may be attributed to its high flavonoid content. It is also an effective way to prevent bacterial tooth decay.
