| F+ | a bacterial cell having an F plasmid |
|---|---|
| GBIA | Guthrie bacterial inhibition assay |
| GIBF | gastrointestinal bacterial flora |
| L-variant | a defective bacterial variant that can multiply on hypertonic medium |
| L-[form] | a defective bacterial variant that can multiply on hypertonic medium |
| genes, structural, bacterial | DNA sequences that code for RNA and for the proteins required for the enzymatic and structural function of bacterial cells. (12 Dec 1998) |
|---|---|
| genome, bacterial | The complete gene complement contained in a single chromosome in a bacterium. (12 Dec 1998) |
| meningitis, bacterial | Meningitis caused by species of bacteria. (12 Dec 1998) |
| gram-negative bacterial infections | <microbiology> Infections caused by bacteria that show up as pink (negative) when treated by the gram-staining 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) |
| RNA, bacterial | Ribonucleic acid in bacteria having regulatory and catalytic roles as well as involvement in protein synthesis. (12 Dec 1998) |
| chromosomes, bacterial | Structures within the nucleus of bacterial cells consisting of or containing DNA, which carry genetic information essential to the cell. (12 Dec 1998) |
| photosynthetic reaction centre, bacterial | A system consisting of proteins and cofactors which acts as a light-driven electron pump across the photosynthetic membrane of photosynthetic bacteria. (12 Dec 1998) |
| conjunctivitis, bacterial | Purulent infections of the conjunctiva by several species of gram-negative, gram-positive, or acid-fast organisms. Some of the more commonly found genera causing conjunctival infections are haemophilus, streptococcus, neisseria, and chlamydia. (12 Dec 1998) |
| pneumonia, bacterial | Pneumonia caused by various species of bacteria. Bacterial pneumonia commonly results from bronchogenic spread of infection following microaspiration of secretions. The largest category of this disease arises from community-acquired pneumonias. (12 Dec 1998) |
| polysaccharides, bacterial | Polysaccharides found in bacteria and especially bacterial capsules. (12 Dec 1998) |
| progressive bacterial synergistic gangrene | Undermining ulcer of the skin and subcutaneous tissues, usually following an operation, caused by a synergistic interaction between microaerophilic nonhemolytic streptococci and aerobic haemolytic staphylococci. Synonym: Meleney's gangrene, progressive bacterial synergistic gangrene. (05 Mar 2000) |
| sexually transmitted diseases, bacterial | Bacterial diseases transmitted or propagated by sexual conduct. (12 Dec 1998) |
| spores, bacterial | Heat and stain resistant, metabolically inactive bodies formed within the vegetative cells of bacteria of the genera bacillus and clostridium. (12 Dec 1998) |
| subacute bacterial endocarditis | Subacute bacterial endocarditis is usually due to Streptococcus viridans or S. Fecalis. (05 Mar 2000) |
