| atypical mycobacteria | Species of mycobacteria other than M. Tuberculosis or M. Bovis that can cause disease in immunocompromised humans. (05 Mar 2000) |
|---|---|
| group III mycobacteria | Mycobacteria that are either colourless or that slowly produce a light yellow pigment when grown in the presence of light. Organisms placed in this group belong to the species Mycobacterium intracellulare. Synonym: nonchromogens. (05 Mar 2000) |
| group II mycobacteria | Mycobacteria that produce a yellow pigment even when grown in the dark; when grown in the light, the pigment is orange. These organisms behave as do saprophytes in humans and are nonpathogenic to laboratory animals. Synonym: scotochromogens. (05 Mar 2000) |
| group I mycobacteria | Mycobacteria that produce a bright yellow colour when grown in the presence of light. Organisms placed in this group appear to belong to the species Mycobacterium kansasii. Synonym: photochromogens. (05 Mar 2000) |
| group IV mycobacteria | Mycobacteria that grow rapidly and that do not produce pigment. Organisms placed in this group belong to such species as Mycobacterium ulcerans and M. Marinum. (05 Mar 2000) |
| mycobacteria | <microbiology> Bacteria with unusual cell walls that are resistant to digestion, being waxy, very hydrophobic and rich in lipid, especially esterified mycolic acids. Staining properties differ from those of gram-negative and gram-positive organisms, being acid-fast. Many are intracellular parasites, causing serious diseases such as leprosy and tuberculosis. Cell wall has strong immunostimulating (adjuvant) properties due to muramyl dipeptide (MDP). Mycobacterium bovis causes tuberculosis in cattle, attenuated strain is Bacille Calmette-Guerin (BCG), used for immunisation. Mycobacterium leprae is the causative agent of leprosy. Mycobacterium microti is a mycobacterium that causes tuberculosis like disease in small rodents (Microtus microtus is the vole), will infect mice but not humans and is therefore much used as a laboratory model. Releases large amounts of cAMP which may inhibit lysosome phagosome fusion. Mycobacterium tuberculosis Is an obligate anaerobic nonmotile bacterium, causative agent of tuberculosis in humans. Lives intracellularly in macrophages. (18 Nov 1997) |
| atypical | Irregular, not conformable to the type, in microbiology, applied specifically to strains of unusual type. Origin: Gr. Typos = type or model (16 Dec 1997) |
| atypical absence seizure | An absence seizure associated with an EEG pattern of irregular or slow spike and wave at less than 2.5 Hz or paroxysmal fast activity on an abnormally slow background EEG. (05 Mar 2000) |
| atypical achromatopsia | Incomplete achromatopsia with normal visual acuity and no nystagmus. Compare: dyschromatopsia. (05 Mar 2000) |
| atypical bacterial forms | Microorganisms that have undergone greater changes than normal in morphology, physiology, or cultural characteristics. (12 Dec 1998) |
| atypical cell | Not usual, abnormal. Cancer is the result of atypical cell division. (09 Oct 1997) |
| atypical facial neuralgia | Periodic pain in any region of the face, teeth, tongue, and occasionally in the occipital or shoulder area, which lasts several minutes to several days but has no trigger point and lacks the paroxysmal character of tic douloureux. Synonym: atypical facial neuralgia. (05 Mar 2000) |
| atypical fibroxanthoma | A solitary, often ulcerated, small cutaneous benign tumour composed of foamy histiocytes, spindle cells, and bizarre giant cells; usually found on the exposed skin of older people; microscopically, atypical fibroxanthoma closely resembles malignant fibrous histiocytoma, but originates in the dermis. (05 Mar 2000) |
| atypical gingivitis | Intense hyperaemic oedema and inflammation of the gingiva resulting from a hypersensitivity reaction. A dense plasma cell infiltrate is seen in the lamina propria. Synonym: atypical gingivitis. (05 Mar 2000) |
| atypical lipoma | <tumour> Lipoma, occurring primarily in older men on the posterior neck, shoulders, and back, which is benign but microscopically atypical, containing giant cells with multiple overlapping nuclei forming a circle. Synonym: pleomorphic lipoma. (05 Mar 2000) |
Synonyms : Atypical Mycobacterium, Mycobacterium, Atypical
