| CD8-positive T-lymphocytes | A critical subpopulation of regulatory T-lymphocytes involved in MHC class I-restricted interactions. They include both cytotoxic T-lymphocytes (T-lymphocytes, cytotoxic) and suppressor T-lymphocytes (T-lymphocytes, suppressor-effector). (12 Dec 1998) |

| gram-positive | <microbiology> Bacteria that retain the stain or that are resistant to decolourisation by alcohol during Gram's method of staining. This is a primary characteristic of bacteria whose cell wall is composed of a thick layer of peptidologlycan containing teichoic and lipoteichoic acid complexed to the peptidoglycan. See: gram-negative (06 Oct 1997) |
| gram-positive asporogenous rods | <microbiology> A gram-positive, non-spore-forming group of bacteria comprising organisms that have morphological and physiological characteristics in common. (12 Dec 1998) |
| gram-positive asporogenous rods, irregular | <microbiology> A group of irregular rod-shaped bacteria that stain gram-positive and do not produce endospores. (12 Dec 1998) |
| gram-positive asporogenous rods, regular | <microbiology> A group of regular rod-shaped bacteria that stain gram-positive and do not produce endospores. (12 Dec 1998) |
| gram-positive bacteria | <microbiology> Bacteria which retain the crystal violet stain when treated by gram's method. (12 Dec 1998) |
| gram-positive bacterial infections | <microbiology> Infections caused by bacteria that retain the crystal violet stain (positive) when treated by the gram-staining method. (12 Dec 1998) |
| gram-positive cocci | <microbiology> Coccus-shaped bacteria that retain the crystal violet stain when treated by gram's method. (12 Dec 1998) |
| gram-positive endospore-forming bacteria | <microbiology> Bacteria that form endospores and are gram-positive. Representative genera include bacillus, clostridium, micromonospora, saccharopolyspora, and streptomyces. (12 Dec 1998) |
| gram-positive endospore-forming rods | <microbiology> Rod-shaped bacteria that form endospores and are gram-positive. Representative genera include bacillus and clostridium. (12 Dec 1998) |
| gram-positive rods | <microbiology> A large group of rod-shaped bacteria that retains the crystal violet stain when treated by gram's method. (12 Dec 1998) |
| continuous positive airway pressure | A technique of respiratory therapy, in either spontaneously breathing or mechanically ventilated patients, in which airway pressure is maintained above atmospheric pressure throughout the respiratory cycle by pressurization of the ventilatory circuit. (05 Mar 2000) |
| continuous positive pressure breathing | Artificial ventilation in which all inspirations are provided by positive pressure applied to the airway. Synonym: continuous positive pressure breathing, continuous positive pressure ventilation, intermittent positive pressure breathing, intermittent positive pressure ventilation. (05 Mar 2000) |
| continuous positive pressure ventilation | Synonym: controlled mechanical ventilation. (05 Mar 2000) |
| positive | Having a value greater than zero, indicating existence or presence of a condition, organism, etc. As chromatin positive or Wassermann positive, characterised by affirmation or cooperation. Origin: L. Positivus (18 Nov 1997) |
