Bilophila wadsworthia isolates from clinical specimens.

Microbiology Laboratory, Barnes Hospital, St. Louis, Missouri 63110.

ABSTRACT

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. Additional isolations from clinical specimens, including a scrotal abscess, mandibular osteomyelitis, axillary hidradenitis suppurativa, pleural fluid, joint fluid, and blood, are described here.
