In vitro assessment of Brazilian red propolis against mycobacteria: antibacterial potency, synergy, inhibition of biofilm formation, and intramacrophage effects
These <i>in vitro</i> findings highlight CHEBRP as a promising candidate for adjunctive antimycobacterial therapy. Further studies should investigate its <i>in vivo</i> efficacy, pharmacokinetics, and activity against a broader range of mycobacterial species.
