Atividade antimicrobiana da geoprópolis da abelha jataí (Tetragonisca angustula) contra bactérias isoladas em leite de vacas mestiças leiteiras com mastite

Abstract

The mastitis is responsible for considerable losses to the producers and to the industries. The use of conventional therapies has been made resistance for part of the microorganisms besides residues found in the milk, interfering in the production of dairy products and in the public health. The demand of alternative therapies, particularly the apiterapy, has been demonstrating good results in front of different microorganisms which caused illnesses. In a experiment with 10 samples of milk of positive animals to the CMT test when seven presented bacterial growth, it was found the efficiency in vitro of the geopropolis of the bee Jatai (Tetragonisca angustula) against Stapylococcus sp. coagulase-negatives.
