Antimicrobial effect of brazillian propolis/polycaprolactone polymer on some human pathogenic bacteria

The antimicrobial activities of propolis against some bacterial strains have been studied. However, there are few reports on biopolymers from propolis. Polycaprolactone (PCL) is a biodegradable polymer that has a long history of use in the biomedical field. In this work, the polymer nanofiber was gr...
