| pneumonia, staphylococcal | Pneumonia caused by staphylococcus aureus. This condition is a frequent complication of viral influenza. (12 Dec 1998) |
|---|---|
| staphylococcal | Infection due to staphylococcus. (27 Sep 1997) |
| staphylococcal food poisoning | Poisoning by staphylococcal toxins present in contaminated food. (12 Dec 1998) |
| staphylococcal infections | Infections with bacteria of the genus staphylococcus. (12 Dec 1998) |
| Staphylococcal neutral phosphatase | <enzyme> A surface-bound bacterial protein; highly cationic; shows maximum phosphatase activity at neutral pH; binds to immunoglobulin Registry number: EC 3.1.3.- Synonym: staphylococcal nptase, nptase (26 Jun 1999) |
| staphylococcal pneumonia | Pneumonia, usually caused by Staphylococcus aureus, usually commencing as a bronchopneumonia, and frequently leading to suppuration and destruction of lung tissue. (05 Mar 2000) |
| staphylococcal protein a | A protein present in the cell wall of most staphylococcus aureus strains. The protein selectively binds to the fc region of human normal and myeloma-derived IgG. It elicits antibody activity and may cause hypersensitivity reactions due to histamine release; has also been used as cell surface antigen marker and in the clinical assessment of b lymphocyte function. (12 Dec 1998) |
| staphylococcal scalded skin syndrome | <syndrome> A disease of infants due to group 2 phage type 17 staphylococci that produce an epidermolytic exotoxin. Superficial fine vesicles and bullae form and rupture easily, resulting in loss of large sheets of epidermis. (12 Dec 1998) |
| staphylococcal skin infections | Infections to the skin caused by bacteria of the genus staphylococcus. (12 Dec 1998) |
| animal toxin | <pharmacology> Any poisonous substance (including but not limited to venom) produced by an animal. (11 May 1997) |
| anthrax toxin | A culture filtrate of Bacillus anthracis containing an exotoxin with at least three different antigenically distinct components: oedema factor, lethal factor, and protective antigen. Synonym: Bacillus anthracis toxin. (05 Mar 2000) |
| Bacillus anthracis toxin | A culture filtrate of Bacillus anthracis containing an exotoxin with at least three different antigenically distinct components: oedema factor, lethal factor, and protective antigen. Synonym: Bacillus anthracis toxin. (05 Mar 2000) |
| bacterial toxin | Any intracellular or extracellular toxin formed in or elaborated by bacterial cells. (05 Mar 2000) |
| bee toxin | The toxin delivered by a bee sting; contains three active principles: biogenic amines, active peptides, and certain hydrolytic enzymes. (05 Mar 2000) |
| botulinum toxin | <protein> Neurotoxin (50 kD, 7 distinct serotypes) produced by certain strains of Clostridium botulinum. The bacterium produces the toxin as a complex with a haemagglutinin that prevents toxin inactivation in the gut. Proteolysis in the body results in cleavage into two fragments A and B. B binds to gangliosides and may stimulate the endocytosis of fragment A. See: synaptobrevin, tetanus toxin. (18 Nov 1997) |
