Q blood group system
| Corynebacterium pseudodiphtheriticum | <bacteria> A nonpathogenic species found in normal throats. Synonym: Hofmann's bacillus. (05 Mar 2000) |
|---|---|
| corynebacterium pseudotuberculosis | <bacteria> A species of gram-positive, asporogenous bacteria that was originally isolated from necrotic areas in the kidney of a sheep. It may cause ulcerative lymphangitis, abscesses, and other chronic purulent infections in sheep, horses, and other warm-blooded animals. Human disease may form from contact with infected animals. (12 Dec 1998) |
| corynebacterium pyogenes | <bacteria> A species of corynebacterium isolated from abscesses of warm-blooded animals. (12 Dec 1998) |
| Corynebacterium renale | <bacteria> A species of bacteria which occurs in purulent infections of the urinary tract in cattle, sheep, horses, and dogs; is pathogenic to laboratory animals; causes ulcerative posthitis in sheep and goats. (05 Mar 2000) |
| Corynebacterium striatum | <bacteria> A species found in nasal mucus and in the throat; also found in udders of cows with mastitis; pathogenic to laboratory animals. (05 Mar 2000) |
| Corynebacterium xerosis | <bacteria> A species found in normal and diseased conjunctiva; there is no evidence that this organism is pathogenic. (05 Mar 2000) |
| ABO blood group | <haematology> The major human blood type system which describes the oligosaccharide glycoprotein antigens found on the surface of human blood cells. According to the type of antigen present, a person may be assigned a blood type of A, B, AB or O. A second type of antigen, the Rh factor, renders a positive or negative blood type. The ABO blood group system is important because it determines who can donate blood to or accept blood from whom. Type A or AB blood will cause an immune reaction in people with type B blood and type B and AB blood will cause a reaction in people with type A blood. Conversely, type O blood has no A or B antigens, so people with type O blood are universal donors. And since AB blood already produces both antigens, people who are type AB can accept any of the other blood types without suffering an immune reaction. (04 Jul 1999) |
| actinobacteria group | A group of gram-positive, heterogeneous bacteria. This group encompasses a range of morphologically, physiologically, and chemically different organisms and includes bacteria that form cocci, short rods, irregular rods, and mycelia that fragment. (12 Dec 1998) |
| alkyl group | <chemistry> A funtional group on an organic molecule which is derived from an alkane which has lost a hydrogen atom. (13 Nov 1997) |
| aluminum group | Aluminum, boron, gallium, indium, and thallium. (05 Mar 2000) |
| amino group | <biochemistry> An -NH2 group. Organic compounds which have this group are called amines. (09 Oct 1997) |
| anterior group of axillary lymph nodes | Lymph nodes located along the lateral thoracic vein; they receive the drainage of the pectoral region, including most of the drainage of the breast. Synonym: nodi lymphatici axillaris pectorales, anterior group of axillary lymph nodes. (05 Mar 2000) |
| apical group of axillary lymph nodes | The group of lymph node's located at the apex of the axillary fossa that receive lymphatic drainage from other groups of axillary node's and then drain in turn into the subclavian lymphatic trunk. Synonym: nodi lymphatici axillares apicales. (05 Mar 2000) |
| Bethesda-Ballerup Group | A group of citrate-utilizing, slow lactose-fermenting bacteria (family Enterobacteriaceae) which share a similar series of antigens with the lactose-fermenting citrobacters; these organisms are now included in the genus Citrobacter without a distinction between prompt and slow lactose fermentation. (05 Mar 2000) |
| blood group | <haematology> An inherited feature on the surface of the red blood cell. A series of related blood groups make up a blood group system such as the ABO system or the Rh system. Erythrocytic allotypes (or phenotypes) defined by one or more cellular antigenic structural groupings under the control of allelic genes. Blood groups, especially for man, are identified by agglutinins supported by specific human or animal antisera and by lectins extracted from certain plants. See: blood group antigen. (25 Jun 1999) |
