Description 652-660
Microbial resistance towards antibiotic is menacing all over the world and therefore considered to be a global health
issue. Their potentialities for adapting new resistance mechanisms threaten our ability to treat common infectious diseases.
Hence it is important to explore alternative therapies to combat microbial diseases. Among them, honeybee products
comprise a wide variety of dietary/nutritional supplements with wide range of pharmaceutical properties. Therefore the
present studies were designed to evaluate the therapeutic potential of propolis, pollen and bee bread against Staphylococcus
aureus mediated oxidative stress in BALB/c mice. For this, different experimental groups were taken and decapitated at the
end of experimental regimen. Liver and kidney were excised/homogenized and used for estimation of oxidative stress
caused to them by following standard protocols. Observations revealed severe biochemical alterations by 5th day of
infection. Among them, activity of antioxidant enzymes and reduced glutathione level were found to be decreased after S.
aureus infection while the lipids peroxidation increased significantly in both liver and kidney. Bee products (250 mg/kg/bw
of mice) restore the values of antioxidant enzymes/molecules and liver/kidney function enzymes to near normal by 30th day
and results obtained were comparable with the positive control i.e. amoxicillin treatment group.
