Abstract
Propolis has a significant antimicrobial activity,which is influenced by various factors due to its complex and variable chemical composition. In this article, we reviewed the research progress on various influence factors on the antimicrobial activity of propolis, including extraction methods,ethanol concentration, p H values, geographical origins, bee species, combinations with different antibiotics, aiming to provide reference for the further research and utilization of antimicrobial activity of propolis.
