There are few biological reports of such material collected in Mexico, despite the high demand for them as raw material for popular and industrial uses. The antibacterial activity of the plants and propolis studied here were evaluated against a panel of bacteria using three dif- ferent methodologies: agar disc diffusion, macro and micro dilution methods. E. globulus and G. attenuatum extracts showed the strongest active values (P 0.05) in the agar disc diffusion method with a range of 8 - 22 mm inhibition zone, MI
