Bisulfite or sulfite inhibits growth of Helicobacter pylori

Abstract

Bisulfite or sulfite was found to be inhibitory to Helicobacter pylori growth. A modified version of Brucella broth (BB), bisulfite-less BB (BLBB), supported rapid, robust, and consistent growth of H. pylori. We suggest that BLBB simply be called "Pylori broth" for distinction from Brucella broth.
