The antimicrobial activity of different types of propolis against Helicobacter Pylori has been evaluated, the main responsibility are flavonoids,pinocembrin, galactin and chrysin. The high prevalence of Helicobacter Pylori in the village of Potrero de las Casas, Táchira Venezuela together with the potential of the area in the bee culture induce to think about to promote intervention studies with bee products that are accessible and low cost.
