High impact information on Bilophila

• Morphological response of Bilophila wadsworthia to imipenem: correlation with properties of penicillin-binding proteins [1].
• The penicillin-binding protein (PBP) patterns of six strains of Bilophila wadsworthia were investigated by sodium dodecyl sulfate-polyacrylamide gel electrophoresis analysis and subsequent fluorography of membrane preparations labelled with [3H]benzylpenicillin [1].
• Antimicrobial susceptibility testing of Bilophila wadsworthia by using triphenyltetrazolium chloride to facilitate endpoint determination [2].
• Initial susceptibility studies of Bilophila wadsworthia indicated significant resistance to several beta-lactam antibiotics, including imipenem and cefoxitin [2].
• A dissimilatory sulfite reductase (DSR) was purified from the anaerobic, taurine-degrading bacterium Bilophila wadsworthia RZATAU to apparent homogeneity [3].

Chemical compound and disease context of Bilophila

• Although all antimicrobial agents tested inhibited growth of all Bilophila strains during the first 24 hours, bactericidal activity was variable; only metronidazole was uniformly bactericidal [4].
• Most strains of Bilophila showed 1-2 log increases in growth at 6 hours with clindamycin and chloramphenicol [4].
• With chloramphenicol, some Bilophila strains tested showed regrowth starting at 30 hours [4].
• MICs of antibiotics against Bilophila wadsworthia isolates were measured by agar and broth microdilution with pyruvic acid and by Etest [5].
• Dissimilatory sulfite reductase (desulfoviridin) of the taurine-degrading, non-sulfate-reducing bacterium Bilophila wadsworthia RZATAU contains a fused DsrB-DsrD subunit [3].

Anatomical context of Bilophila

• Bilophila wadsworthia is an anaerobic, gram-negative, asaccharolytic, bile-resistant, catalase-positive bacillus that is usually urease positive and was originally recognized in specimens of peritoneal fluid and tissue from patients with appendicitis [6].

Gene context of Bilophila

• Adherence of Bilophila wadsworthia to laminin and fibronectin [7].
• Bilophila wadsworthia clinical isolates compared by polymerase chain reaction fingerprinting [8].
