Abstract

Propolis is a resinous mixture found in the tree buds, sap flows, and other botanical sources, which is used by honey bees in the construction of their hives. Antimicrobial effects of propolis were evaluated against Streptococcus mutans KCTC 3065, S. sobrinus KCTC 3308, S. sobrinus KCTC 5134, and Porphyromonas gingivalis KCTC 5352 by an agar diffusion assay. Sensitivity of these microorganisms to propolis was evaluated in broth containing different concentrations of propolis at $37^{\circ}C$, followed by observation using transmission electron microscopy (TEM). Propolis inhibited all oral microorganisms tested at the minimum inhibitory concentration (MIC) of $0.14mg/{\mu}L$ in the agar diffusion assay. Treatment with 0.06 and $0.22mg/{\mu}L$ of propolis had a bactericidal effect in a concentration- and treatment time-dependent manner against the tested microorganisms. TEM of propolis-treated S. mutans KCTC 3065 and P. gingivalis KCTC 5352 revealed structural damage of the cell membrane. The activity of propolis was affected by heat and pH treatment. The results indicate that propolis shows antibacterial activity against oral microorganisms and that it has potential for future applications in the food industry.

구강구취균 4종을 국내산 프로폴리스를 이용하여 프로폴리스의 농도, 열처리, pH의 변화를 통한 항균효과를 조사하였다. P. gingivalis KCTC 5352가 다소 프로폴리스에 저항적인 모습을 보였으나 그 외의 구강구취균에는 강한 항균활성을 나타내었다. 액체배지를 이용하여 프로폴리스의 농도를 조절하여 구강구치균의 민감도를 조사한 결과, 프로폴리스의 농도가 진할 수록 더 빠른 시간에 큰 활성을 보였으며 일반적으로 $0.22mg/{\mu}L$ 농도의 프로폴리스를 첨가하였을 경우 4-6시간 안에 대부분의 균이 사멸하였다. TEM을 통해 프로폴리스가 균의 세포에 어떤 영향을 미치는가 살펴보았으며 프로폴리스를 첨가한 균의 세포막이 얇아지면서 붕괴되고 안의 내부물질이 유출되면서 세포가 분해됨을 확인하였다. $0.56mg/{\mu}L$ 농도의 프로폴리스를 사용하여 열처리 후와 pH 조절 후의 프로폴리스의 항균활성을 시험한 결과 열에 안정하지 않고, pH가 높아질수록 활성이 약해지는 것으로 나타났다.
