METHODS AND RESULTS
Using UHPLC-qqqMS quantitative analysis, twenty eight phenolic compounds were determined. Caffeic and p-coumaric acids were identified as main phenolic acids in poplar propolis samples, except samples from Russia (P6) and China (P7). Radical scavenging activity (applying DPPH spectrophotometric assay), showed the highest activity of Serbian (40.51%) and Chinese (53.21%) propolis samples. Broth microdilution method was used for the oral cavity, fungal phytopathogenic and human vaginal isolates which have been identified at a molecular level. The most sensitive bacterial isolates were Lactobacillus acidophilus (MIC of 0.03 - 0.13 mg mL-1 ) and the oral streptococci isolates (MIC values of 0.19 - 0.13 mg mL-1 ). The most sensitive fungal phytopathogenic isolate was Fusarium oxysporum (MIC 0.003 mg mL-1 ). All samples, except propolis from Serbia (P4) and Turkey (P5), showed a strong antifungal activity against Fusarium sporotrichioides, Fusarium subglutinans and Fusarium proliferatum.
