Abstract
Laboratory experiments had been carried out in Technical college Al- Mussiab / Babylon during year 2005 to study bioactivity for different concentration form (aquneous ,alcohol and hexanic ) extracts of propolis material collected from three areas in Iraq ( Kerbala , Babylon and Wasit ) which were different in their plant covering against some of bacterial types which cause European Full –brood ( Millisococcus pluton , Bacillus alvei and B. letrosporus ) which had been isolated from infected arched with disease and from same areas .Two methods of diffusion were used digging and paper discs methods . Results showed that diffusion method by digging was more efficient in test of bacterial inhibition which lead to increase the activity of both propolis extracts and honey toxin in bacterial growth prevention .And alcoholic propolis extracts appeared high efficacy generally in bacteria ( M. pluton , B. alvei and B. letrosporus ) with diameters average reached 17.18 , 17. 35 and 19.7 mm respectively in the regions (Kerbala , Babylon and Wasit) respectively too . While aqueous extracts was the less efficacy in bacterial growth . Propolis played a role in its efficacy by increasing active compounds which it contains in respect plant types which had been collected from . Kerbala area propolis had exceeded areas of Babylon and wasit in effect of bacterial types. On the other hand 40 % con. appeared high effect compare with other con. While 1 % con. the less effective in these bacteria .
