| gastroenteritis | <gastroenterology, pathology> An acute inflammation of the lining of the stomach and intestines, characterised by anorexia, nausea, diarrhoea, abdominal pain and weakness, which has various causes, including food poisoning due to infection with such organisms as Escherichia coli, Staphylococcus aureus and Salmonella species, consumption of irritating food or drink or psychological factors such as anger, stress and fear. Synonym: enterogastritis. (18 Nov 1997) |
|---|---|
| gastroenteritis, transmissible, of swine | A condition of chronic gastroenteritis in adult pigs and fatal gastroenteritis in piglets caused by a coronavirus. (12 Dec 1998) |
| gastroenteritis virus, murine | A species of the coronavirus genus causing hepatitis in mice. Four strains have been identified as mhv 1, mhv 2, mhv 3, and mhv 4 (also known as jhm, which is neurotropic and causes disseminated encephalomyelitis with demyelination as well as focal liver necrosis). (12 Dec 1998) |
| gastroenteritis virus, porcine transmissible | A species of coronavirus causing a fatal disease to pigs under 3 weeks old. (12 Dec 1998) |
| gastroenteritis virus type A | A RNA virus, about 27 nm in diameter, which has not been cultured in vitro; it is the cause of epidemic nonbacterial gastroenteritis; at least five antigenically distinct serotypes have been recognised, including the Norwalk agent. These viruses are probably classified with the Caliciviruses in the family Caliciviridae. Synonym: gastroenteritis virus type A. (05 Mar 2000) |
| gastroenteritis virus type B | <virology> Genus of the Reoviridae having a double layered capsid and 11 double stranded RNA molecules in the genome. They have a wheel like appearance in the electron microscope and cause acute diarrhoeal disease in their mammalian and avian hosts. Probably the most important cause of severe dehydrating diarrhoea in children under three years of age worldwide. Symptoms include nausea, vomiting, low-grade fever and diarrhoea. Aggressive fluid replacement is generally required. (27 Sep 1997) |
| viral gastroenteritis | <pathology> An inflammatory condition of the intestines that results from an infection with a virus. Rotavirus is a common cause. Abdominal pain, diarrhoea, nausea and vomiting are common symptoms. (27 Sep 1997) |
| resistance, antibiotic | The ability of bacteria and other microorganisms to withstand an antibiotic to which they were once sensitive (and were once stalled or killed outright). Also called drug resistance. (12 Dec 1998) |
| peptide antibiotic lactonase | <enzyme> Peptide lactone and water gives linear peptide Registry number: EC 3.1.1.- (26 Jun 1999) |
| porcine transmissible gastroenteritis | A rapidly spreading disease of swine, caused by a coronavirus (of the family Coronaviridae) and characterised by severe diarrhoea and vomiting; case fatality rate in pigs younger than 10 days is high; in older pigs it is low. Synonym: porcine transmissible gastroenteritis. (05 Mar 2000) |
| infantile gastroenteritis | An endemic viral gastroenteritis of young children (6 months to 12 years) that is especially widespread during winter, caused by strains of rotavirus; the incubation period is 2 to 4 days, with symptoms lasting 3 to 5 days, including abdominal pain, diarrhoea, fever, and vomiting. Synonym: infantile gastroenteritis. (05 Mar 2000) |
