| 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) |
|---|---|
| resistance factor | <molecular biology> A self-replicating fragment of nucleic acid that confers drug resistance and is transmitted from one bacterium to another via conjugation. (09 Oct 1997) |
| resistance factors | 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 form | The shape given to a cavity preparation that enables the dental restoration to withstand masticatory forces. (05 Mar 2000) |
| 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) |
| cervico-oculo-acoustic syndrome | <syndrome> A congenital short neck associated with paralysis of the external ocular muscles and with perceptive deafness; occurs in girls. Synonym: Wildervanck syndrome. (05 Mar 2000) |
