Role of Honey Bee Gut Microbiota in the Control of American Foulbrood and European Foulbrood Diseases. [PDF]
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 ...

Nisin A Treatment to Protect Honey Bee Larvae from European Foulbrood Disease. [PDF]
Abstract European foulbrood (EFB) is a bee larvae-specific infectious disease and the causative pathogen is Melissococcus plutonius. Broad-spectrum antibiotics have classically been used in many countries to control the pathogens; however, their use in apiaries was discontinued in several countries due to concerns regarding the health of bees
