| acute post-streptococcal glomerulonephritis | <nephrology> A disease of the kidneys that results in inflammation of the glomerulus (the portion of the kidney that filters the blood). Conditions which may cause glomerulonephritis include post-streptococcal disease (strep throat), lupus, syphilis, bacterial endocarditis, membranoproliferative glomerulonephritis, sepsis, vasculitis, Goodpasture's syndrome, typhoid fever, Henoch-Schonlein purpura, hepatitis or a viral infection (for example mumps, measles, mononucleosis).

| group A streptococcal necrotizing fasciitis | A complication of infection with GAS (group A streptococci) in which the bacteria attacks and destroys muscle tissue. According to the CDC, 5-10% of people with severe GAS infection develop necrotizing fasciitis. Though the infection can be treated with antibiotics, the fatality rate is close to 30%. This complication often develops as a wound infection after surgery or injury. (05 Mar 2000) |
| streptococcal | Relating to or caused by any organism of the genus Streptococcus. (05 Mar 2000) |
| streptococcal fibrinolysin | <enzyme> Plasminogen activator released by Streptococcus pyogenes. Occurs in two forms, A and B. (18 Nov 1997) |
| streptococcal infections | Infections with bacteria of the genus streptococcus. (12 Dec 1998) |
| streptococcal lymphadenitis | A contagious bacterial disease of pigs caused by a group E streptococcus and characterised by the formation of abscesses in the cervical and/or cephalic lymph nodes. (05 Mar 2000) |
| streptococcal nuclease | <enzyme> From streptococcus haemolyticus; degrades RNA and DNA producing oligonucleotides terminating in 5'-phosphate Registry number: EC 3.1.30.- (26 Jun 1999) |
| streptococcal pneumonia | Pneumonia due to Streptococcus pyogenes. (05 Mar 2000) |
| streptococcal toxins | Group of haemolytic exotoxins released by Streptococci. _ haemolysin: 26-39 Kd (four types), forms ring like structures in membranes (see Streptolysin O). Lipid target unclear. _ haemolysin: a hot cold haemolysin with sphingomyelinase C activity. _ haemolysin: complex of two proteins (29 and 26 kD) that act synergistically, rabbit erythrocytes particularly sensitive. _ toxin: heat stable peptide (5 kD) with high proportion of hydrophobic amino acids. Seems to act in a detergent like manner (c.f. Subtilysin), but may form hydrophilic transmembrane pores by cooperative interaction with other _ toxin molecules. Leucocidin (Panton Valentine leucocidin): two components f (fast migration on CM cellulose column: 32 kD) and s (slow: 38 kD). Mode of action contentious. See: Streptococcus, streptolysins O and S, erythrogenic toxin. (18 Nov 1997) |
| aids vaccines | Vaccines or candidate vaccines containing inactivated HIV or some of its component antigens and designed to prevent aids. Some vaccines containing antigens are recombinantly produced. (12 Dec 1998) |
| bacterial vaccines | Suspensions of attenuated or killed bacteria administered for the prevention or treatment of infectious bacterial disease. (12 Dec 1998) |
| cancer vaccines | Vaccines or candidate vaccines designed to prevent or treat cancer. Vaccines are produced using the patient's own whole tumour cells as the source of antigens, or using tumour-specific antigens, often recombinantly produced. (12 Dec 1998) |
| vaccines | Vaccines are microbial preparations of killed or modified microorganisms which can stimulate an immune response in the body in order to prevent future infection with similar microorganism. The smallpox vaccine has totally eliminated the smallpox disease from our planet. (12 Dec 1998) |
| vaccines, attenuated | Live vaccines prepared from microorganisms which have undergone physical adaptation (e.g., by radiation or temperature conditioning) or serial passage in laboratory animal hosts or infected tissue/cell cultures, in order to produce avirulent mutant strains capable of inducing protective immunity. (12 Dec 1998) |
| vaccines, combined | Two or more vaccines in a single dosage form. (12 Dec 1998) |
