Abstract
Bismuth subsalicylate (BSS), the active ingredient of Pepto-Bismol, has been used for many years to treat various disorders of the gastrointestinal tract. Using mass spectrometry and the agar dilution method, we determined that insoluble BSS interacts with certain dietary components and organic substrates to produce water-soluble products with activity against Clostridium difficile.Entities:
