Surface Antigen Exposure by Bismuth Dimercaprol Suppression of Klebsiella pneumoniae Capsular Polysaccharide

The bacterial capsule is an important virulence determinant in animal and plant disease. Bacterial capsule and slime can be inhibited by bismuth compounds, especially when complexed with lipophilic thiol chelators. Bismuth dimercaprol (BisBAL) at 1 ppm of Bi(3+) repressed Klebsiella pneumoniae capsu...
