| antiviral | <pharmacology> Drugs, including interferon, which stimulate cellular defenses against viruses, reducing cell DNA synthesis and making cells more resistant to viral genes, enhancing cellular immune responses or suppressing their replication. Also refers to genetically engineered drugs that are designed to block viral replication. (14 Nov 1997) |
|---|---|
| antiviral agents | Agents used in the prophylaxis or therapy of virus diseases. They may act to prevent viral replication by inhibiting viral DNA polymerase; binding to specific cell-surface receptors and inhibiting viral penetration or uncoating; inhibiting viral protein synthesis; blocking late stages of virus assembly; etc. (12 Dec 1998) |
| antiviral immunity | Immunity resulting from virus infection, either naturally acquired or produced by intentional vaccination; compared to some bacterial immunity's, it is of relatively long duration, but this may be the result of infection-immunity rather than being peculiar to virus infection per se, since it occurs also in bacterial immunity after infections such as typhoid fever. (05 Mar 2000) |
| antiviral protein | A human or animal factor, induced by interferon in virus-infected cells, which mediates interferon inhibition of virus replication. (05 Mar 2000) |
| antibiotic | <pharmacology> A chemical substance produced by a microorganism which has the capacity, in dilute solutions, to inhibit the growth of or to kill other microorganisms. Antibiotics that are sufficiently nontoxic to the host are used as chemotherapeutic agents in the treatment of infectious diseases of man, animals and plants. Origin: Gr. Bios = life (18 Nov 1997) |
| antibiotic assay | <investigation> A test to determine how sensitive a bacterial or fungal strain is to arange of antibiotics bymeasuring the microbes' ability to grow in astandard dilution of each chemical. (09 Oct 1997) |
| antibiotic enterocolitis | Enterocolitis caused by oral administration of broad spectrum antibiotics, resulting from overgrowth of antibiotic-resistant staphylococci or yeasts and fungi, when the normal faecal Gram-negative organisms are suppressed, resulting in diarrhoea or pseudomembranous disease. (05 Mar 2000) |
| antibiotic eye drops | <pharmacology> A medication that is pH balanced to allow placement into the eye for the purpose of killing bacteria. Examples include: Bleph-10, Chloromycetin, Cortisporin-Ophthalmic, Gantrisin, Genoptic, Gentacidin, Garamycin, Gantrisin, Ilotycin, Sodium Sulamyd and Sulphair. (27 Sep 1997) |
| antibiotic induced enteritis | <pathology> A condition where the normal intestinal bacteria (useful for digestion) are killed by the use of an antibiotic resulting in symptoms. (27 Sep 1997) |
| antibiotic induced gastroenteritis | <pathology> A condition where the normal intestinal bacteria (useful for digestion) are killed by the use of an antibiotic resulting in symptoms. (27 Sep 1997) |
| antibiotic ointment | A ointment (or cream) based medication that kills bacteria. Examples include Neosporin, Bactroban, Garamycin, bacitracin, gentamicin, mupirocin, neomycin, silver sulphasalazine, chloramphenicol and clindamycin. (27 Sep 1997) |
| antibiotic prophylaxis | Use of antibiotics before, during, or after a diagnostic, therapeutic, or surgical procedure to prevent infectious complications. (12 Dec 1998) |
| antibiotic resistance | The ability of a bacterium tosynthesise a protein that neutralises an antibiotic. (09 Oct 1997) |
| antibiotic resistance gene | Genes in a microorganism which confer resistance to antibiotics, for example by coding for enzymes which destroy it, by coding for surface proteins which prevent it from entering the microorganism, or by being a mutant form of the antibiotic's target so that it can ignore it. (09 Oct 1997) |
| antibiotic-resistant | Indicating microorganisms that continue to multiply although exposed to antibiotic agents. (05 Mar 2000) |
