Resumen:
Honeybee venom (BV) has been recently reported as an important
source of antimicrobial peptides. Despite these broad spectrum
antimicrobial effects, information about BV effects on infectious
pathogens of honeybees is previously absent from the literature. It
is a preliminary approach about an alternative natural substance for
American Foulbrood control. Results showed that very low
concentrations of BV are required to inhibit Paenibacillus larvae
growth. T he minimal inhibitory concentration values ranged from
3.12 to 8.33 μg/mL, and minimal bactericidal concentration values
of 4.16 to 10.42 μg/mL. T his paper is the first report on BV
antimicrobial activity against P. larvae with no lethal or behavioral
effects on adult bees.
