| bactericide | <pharmacology> A substance that kills bacteria. (18 Nov 1997) |
| bacterid | 1. A recurrent or persistent eruption of discrete sterile pustules of the palms and soles, thought to be an allergic response to infection at a remote site. 2. A dissemination of a previously localised bacterial skin infection. Origin: bacteria + -id (05 Mar 2000) |
| bacterin | <virology> A vaccine composed of weakened or dead bacteria which will cause the body to create antibodies against the disease normally caused by the bacteria in the vaccine. (09 Oct 1997) |

| bacteriochlorophyll | <microbiology, plant biology> Varieties of chlorophyll (bacteriochlorophylls a, b, c, d, e and g) found in photosynthetic bacteria and differing from plant chlorophyll in the substituents around the tetrapyrrole nucleus of the molecule and in the absorption spectra.
