Antifungal Activity of Mexican Propolis on Clinical Isolates of Species.

Infections caused by micro-organisms of the genus are becoming a growing health problem worldwide. These fungi are opportunistic commensals that can produce infections-clinically known as candidiasis-in immunocompromised individuals. The indiscriminate use of different anti-fungal treatments has triggered the resistance of species to currently used therapies.

Antimycobacterial and hypolipemiant activities of Bidens odorata (Cavanilles).

Ethnopharmacological Relevance: Bidens odorata Cavanilles is a medicinal and edible plant known as "mozote blanco, aceitilla, acahual, mozoquelite" which is traditionally used in Mexico as a diuretic, hypoglycaemic, anti-inflammatory, antipyretic, antitussive, to treat gastrointestinal disorders, kidney pain, and lung or respiratory diseases.

Aim Of The Study: This research study was aimed at phytochemical analysis of aerial extracts of B. odorata for antimycobacterial and lipid-lowering activities.
