| resistance-inducing factor | An agent from normal chick embryos that interferes with multiplication of the avian leukosis-sarcoma virus, and is seemingly an avirulent leukosis virus antigenically related to the avian leukosis-sarcoma virus. (05 Mar 2000) |
|---|---|
| resistance plasmids | Plasmid's carrying genes responsible for antibiotic (or antibacterial drug) resistance among bacteria (notably Enterobacteriaceae); they may be conjugative or nonconjugative plasmid's, the former possessing transfer genes (resistance transfer factor) lacking in the latter. Synonym: R factors, R plasmids, resistance factors, resistance-transferring episomes. (05 Mar 2000) |
| resistance, pulmonary | The opposition of the respiratory tree to air flow. (12 Dec 1998) |
| resistance pyrometer | A device measuring temperature by the change of the electrical resistance of a metal wire. Synonym: resistance pyrometer. (05 Mar 2000) |
| resistance thermometer | A device measuring temperature by the change of the electrical resistance of a metal wire. Synonym: resistance pyrometer. (05 Mar 2000) |
| resistance-transfer factor | The transfer gene of the resistance plasmid. (05 Mar 2000) |
| resistance-transferring episomes | Plasmid's carrying genes responsible for antibiotic (or antibacterial drug) resistance among bacteria (notably Enterobacteriaceae); they may be conjugative or nonconjugative plasmid's, the former possessing transfer genes (resistance transfer factor) lacking in the latter. Synonym: R factors, R plasmids, resistance factors, resistance-transferring episomes. (05 Mar 2000) |
| resistance, vascular | The opposition to the flow of blood across a vascular bed. (12 Dec 1998) |
| cephalosporin resistance | <microbiology> Non-susceptibility of an organism to the action of the cephalosporins. (12 Dec 1998) |
| penicillin resistance | <microbiology, pharmacology> Nonsusceptibility of an organism to the action of penicillins. (12 Dec 1998) |
| peripheral resistance | The total resistance to flow of blood in the systemic circuit; the quotient produced by dividing the mean arterial pressure by the cardiac minute-volume. Synonym: peripheral resistance. (05 Mar 2000) |
| chloramphenicol resistance | <microbiology, pharmacology> Nonsusceptibility of a bacterium to the action of chloramphenicol, a potent inhibitor of protein synthesis in the 50s ribosomal subunit where amino acids are added to nascent bacterial polypeptides. (12 Dec 1998) |
| methicillin resistance | Non-susceptibility of a microbe to the action of methicillin, a semi-synthetic penicillin derivative. (12 Dec 1998) |
| multidrug resistance | The insensitivity of various tumours to a variety of chemically related anticancer drugs; mediated by a process of inactivating the drug or removing it from the target tumour cells. (05 Mar 2000) |
| mutual resistance | An interaction between chemicals in which one partially or completelyinhibits the effect of the other (for example, a drug that blocks a hormone's receptor site would be a hormone antagonist). (09 Oct 1997) |
