Role of Honey Bee Gut Microbiota in the Control of American Foulbrood and European Foulbrood Diseases. [PDF]
Arch Razi Inst, 2022 American foulbrood (AFB) and European foulbrood (EFB) are the two most important honey bee brood diseases which impose heavy economic losses to the apiculture industry worldwide by reducing bee population and honey production. Treatment with antibiotics has led to the emergence of antibiotic-resistant strains, calling for alternative safe treatment ...
