The study was conducted in a microbiology laboratories with adherence to ethical standards . Results : The study did not observe any antibacterial effect from either livestock honey without royal jelly or forests honey . However , propolis showed an antibacterial effect , particularly significant against Pseudomonas aeruginosa at 100% concentration , indicating its potential as a superior antibacterial agent in this context . Discussion : The findings suggest that while some forms of honey did not exhibit antibacterial properties under the study conditions , propolis demonstrated a significant effect , emphasis the potential for propolis in antimicrobial applications , especially against biofilm- forming bacteria . Conclusion : Propolis exhibits a strong antibacterial effect against specific burn wounds pathogens , particularly Pseudomonas aeruginosa , underscoring its potential in burn wounds management .
