Treatment: Propolis

The following conditions may be treated by propolis:

Shigella dysenteriae vulvovaginal infections

Shigella dysenteriae can cause vulvovaginal infections in girls and women, along with other Shigella species.

Prevotella spp. in the vagina

Prevotella species are a group of bacteria that live in the mouth and vagina, and can cause infections, particularly in the gums, lungs, sinuses and ears, and wounds. Prevotella species associated with vulvovaginal or urogenital infections include: Prevotella amnii Prevotella bivia Prevotella buccalis Prevotella corporis Prevotella disiens Prevotella intermedia

Porphyromonas spp.

Porphyromonas is a genus known to have pathogenic and commensal species that create part of the salivary microbiome. Because the mouth and vagina share many characteristics, these bacteria may be found in the urogenital tract. Porphyromonas asaccharolytica Porphyromonas endodontalis Porphyromonas gingivalis

Streptococcus pneumoniae vulvovaginal infections

Streptococcus pneumoniae can cause very serious gynaecological infections in women, however this is rare.

Staphylococcus aureus vulvovaginal infections

Staphylococcus aureus, also known as golden staph, is one of the most common skin infections of humans. Vaginal colonisation is a bit less common, but does happen, as part of aerobic vaginitis.

Pseudomonas aeruginosa urinary tract and vulvovaginal infections

Pseudomonas aeruginosa can cause vulvovaginal and urinary tract infections, but tends to prefer other locations on the human body to infect.

Proteus vulgaris urinary tract and vulvovaginal infections

Proteus vulgaris typically lives in the digestive tract of humans, causing infections in wounds and as opportunity arises, infections in the urinary tract.

Proteus mirabilis urinary tract and vulvovaginal infections

Proteus mirabilis is a bacteria that commonly causes urinary tract infections and can contribute to bacterial vaginosis.

Prevotella intermedia vulvovaginal infections

P. intermedia is involved in mouth infections, is found more in pregnant women, and may be involved with bacterial vaginosis.

Porphyromonas gingivalis vulvovaginal infections

P. gingivalis is a pathogenic bacteria frequently involved in gum disease, however it has been found in women with BV and women who are having trouble conceiving.

Porphyromonas asaccharolytica vulvovaginal infections

Porphyromonas asaccharolytica is a bacteria that can inhabit the vagina and contribute to or cause vulvovaginal infections or dysbiosis, such as bacterial vaginosis.

Lactobacillus acidophilus vulvovaginal colonisation

Lactobacillus acidophilus is best known for its role in making yoghurt, but it is also a probiotic human bacteria that colonises the gut and sometimes vagina.

Parvimonas micra vulvovaginal colonisation

Originally classified as Peptostreptococcus micros in 1933, in 1999 was reclassified as Micromonas micros, then reclassified again in 2006 as Parvimonas micra. Oral pathogen involved in dental plaque.

Micrococcus luteus vulvovaginal and urinary tract infections

Micrococcus luteus is a cause of urinary tract and other forms of infection in humans, and is multi-drug resistant.

Klebsiella pneumoniae urinary tract and vulvovaginal infections

Klebsiella pneumoniae may be involved in vulvovaginal and urinary tract infections, being part of aerobic vaginitis.

Streptococcus mutans vulvovaginal infections

S. mutans is most often found in the mouth, causing dental plaque (biofilm) and dental caries.

Streptococcus pyogenes (Group A Strep) vulvovaginal infections

Group A Strep – Streptococcus pyogenes – can cause respiratory, skin, vagina and urinary tract infections.

Helicobacter pylori vulvovaginal infections

Helicobacter pylori is most commonly associated with stomach ulcers, but it can affect other areas of the body like the vagina, urinary tract, and mouth.

Fusobacterium nucleatum vulvovaginal infections

Fusobacterium nucleatum can cause inflammation in cells, uterine infections, bacterial vaginosis, urinary tract infections, contributes to preterm birth, but conversely can be part of the healthy placenta flora.

Corynebacterium spp. vulvovaginal infections

The Corynebacterium species are found in the human microbiota and tend to be considered commensal bacteria. Some species can cause disease in humans, with the most notable being diphtheria, caused by C. diphtheriae. Corynebacterium can be an opportunistic pathogen if given the chance to infect a wound, for example. Sometimes the vulva, urinary tract or
