| bacterial toxins | Toxic substances formed in or elaborated by bacteria; they are usually proteins with high molecular weight and antigenicity; some are used as antibiotics and some to skin test for the presence of or susceptibility to certain diseases. (12 Dec 1998) |
|---|---|
| bacterial transformation | <microbiology> A genetics lab procedure where bacteria are induced to accept and incorporate into their genome foreign pieces of cell-less, isolated DNA, often in the form of a plasmid. The DNA to be introduced usually contains a selectable marker so that the bacteria which successfully incorporate the DNA can be selected for. (09 Oct 1997) |
| bacterial translocation | The passage of viable bacteria from the gastrointestinal tract to extra-intestinal sites, such as the mesenteric lymph node complex, liver, spleen, kidney, and blood. Factors that promote bacterial translocation include overgrowth with gram-negative enteric bacilli, impaired host immune defenses, and injury to the intestinal mucosa resulting in increased intestinal permeability. These mechanisms can act in concert to promote synergistically the systemic spread of indigenous translocating bacteria to cause lethal sepsis. (12 Dec 1998) |
| bacterial transposition | <molecular biology> A short sequence of DNA (known as a transposon) which can change location on the bacterial genome (the sum total of all of the bacterium's DNA) and contains genes which code for proteins that enable it to change location. They are useful because they can also contain genes for other things, like antibiotic resistance, and because they can be introduced into a bacterial genome by a researcher. (09 Oct 1997) |
| bacterial typing techniques | Procedures for identifying types and strains of bacteria. The most frequently employed typing systems are bacteriophage typing and serotyping as well as bacteriocin typing and biotyping. (12 Dec 1998) |
| bacterial vaccines | Suspensions of attenuated or killed bacteria administered for the prevention or treatment of infectious bacterial disease. (12 Dec 1998) |
| bacterial vaginitis | <gynaecology> A bacterial infection of the vaginal mucosa resulting in redness, pain and a vaginal discharge with a foul odour. (27 Sep 1997) |
| bacterial vegetations | Lesions of bacterial endocarditis that form anywhere on the endocardium but preferentially on higher pressure and injured areas and particularly valves. They may also appear on arterial intima and in a patent ductus arteriosus and other areas of shunt inside and outside the heart. (05 Mar 2000) |
| bacterial virus | <microbiology, virology> A virus which infects bacteria and is usually species-specific. (09 Oct 1997) |
| bacterial wilt disease | <botany> A plant disease common in cucumber and muskmelon caused by the bacteria Erwinia tracheiphila which causes wilting and shriveling of the stems and leaves. (09 Oct 1997) |
| filamentous bacterial viruses | Deoxyribonucleoproteins that "infect" and replicate in Gram-negative bacteria having sex pili and that, unlike bacteriophage, are released from infected bacteria without damage to the cell; they seem to be of two kinds, one of which has a specificity for F pili and the other for I pili. Synonym: fibrous bacterial viruses. (05 Mar 2000) |
|---|---|
| fimbriae, bacterial | Thin, hairlike appendages, 1 to 20 microns in length and often occurring in large numbers, present on the cells of gram-negative bacteria, particularly enterobacteriaceae and neisseria. Unlike flagella, they do not possess motility, but being protein (pilin) in nature, they possess antigenic and haemagglutinating properties. They are of medical importance because some fimbriae mediate the attachment of bacteria to cells via adhesins (adhesins, bacterial). Bacterial fimbriae refer to common pili, to be distinguished from the preferred use of "pili", which is confined to sex pili (pili, sex). (12 Dec 1998) |
| luminescence, bacterial | The emission of light by bacteria. It is applied to studies on bacterial viability, metabolism, genetics, adhesiveness, and other physiological properties. (12 Dec 1998) |

| bacterial virus |
a virus capable of producing transmissible lysis of bacteria; the virus particle attaches to the bacterial cell wall and viral nucleoprotein enters the cell, resulting in the synthesis of virus and its liberation on physical disruption of the cell. Bacterial viruses are usually specific for bacterial species, but they may be strain-specific or may infect more than one species of bacteria. Called also bacteriophage or phage. See Twort-d'Herelle phenomenon, under phenomenon.

| bacterial |
Bacteria (singular, bacterium) are a major group of living organisms. They are microscopic and mostly unicellular, with a relatively simple cell structure lacking a cell nucleus, cytoskeleton, and organelles such as mitochondria and chloroplasts. Their cell structure is further described in the article about prokaryotes, because bacteria are prokaryotes, in contrast to organisms with more complex cells, called eukaryotes. ...

| bacterial infection |
An infection is the detrimental colonization of a host organism by a foreign species. An infection is, in effect, a war in which the infecting organism seeks to utilize the host's resources in order to multiply at the expense of the host. The infecting organism, or pathogen, interferes with the normal functioning and perhaps the survival of the host. ...
