Table 2 MIC and MFC values obtained for Candida spp. reference strains and clinical isolates incubated with different concentration of four propolis extracts. Candida spp. strains and clinical isolates were incubated for 48 h with different concentrations of the four propolis extracts, and the growth inhibition was then calculated. MIC: Minimal Inhibitory Concentration; MFC: Minimal Fungicidal Concentration; GP_EtOH: green propolis ethanolic extract; GP_US: green propolis ethanolic extract pre-treated with ultrasound; RP_EtOH: red propolis ethanolic extract; RP_US: red propolis ethanolic extract pre-treated with ultrasound
