AB - American foulbrood is a bacterial disease caused by the Gram-positive
bacterium Paenibacillus larvae and is the most dangerous disease of the
honeybee. The objective of this study is to compare the methods of detection
of this bacterium in different products and samples from the hive. The samples
of honey bees, wax, pollen and debris were taken from the hive during Spring
period of 2013. Different microbiological methods were used for detection of
the bacteria. MYPGP the culture medium is used during all the identifications
of the bacterium. The results show that the diagnosis of the disease is more
effective in samples of honey and bees than the detection of the bacteria in
the wax, pollen and debris from the hive. Even in the absence of symptoms of
the disease, the bacteria can be detected in honey or bees.
