Abstract: | Background: Impetigo is a contagious superficial pyogenic infection of the skin , caused by Staphylococcus aureus or Streptococcus pyogenes and some times proteus mirabilis , different antibiotics was used for the treatment of impetigo , given topically or systemically . Objectives: The aim of the present work is to estimate the effectiveness of propolis on different types of bacteria which was isolated from children suffering from impetigo skin infection . Methods: The study was done in the College of Medicine / Diyala University. Forty two samples with positive bacterial cultures, were obtained from the skin lesions of children with impetigo infection , for the period of 2/Feb. to 30/May/2010 . They were tested by doing antibiotic sensitivity test of different antibiotics and the resistant strains of different types of bacteria , were tested by 10% of ethanolic extract of propolis and it's phenolic compounds . Results: The study revealed that 10% of ethanolic extract of propolis and it's phenolic compounds was effective as antibacterial agents, against antibiotic's resistant strains of Staph .aureus, Strep. Pyogenes and Proteus mirabilis. |
