Abstract
The minimum inhibitory concentrations of five bismuth salts (bismuth subcitrate, bismuth subgallate, bismuth subnitrate, bismuth subsalicylate and tripotassium dicitrato bismuthate, a water soluble compound of bismuth subcitrate) were assayed against 48 strains of Campylobacter pylori employing the agar dilution method. Tripotassium dicitrato bismuthate was most effective (MIC50 8 mg/l), the other bismuth salts exhibited somewhat lower inhibitory activities. It is concluded that bismuth salts are suitable agents for inhibiting growth of Campylobacter pylori.Entities:
