Response to treatment
aerobic
Of or pertaining to the presence of air or oxygen; requiring oxygen for the maintenance of life
anaerobic
Absence of oxygen
antibodies
Immunoglobulins essential to the immune system that are produced by lymphoid tissue in response to bacteria, viruses, or other antigens.
antigen
Substance (usually a protein) that causes the formation of an antibody and that reacts specifically with that antibody.
artificial immunity
Immunity that follows the receipt of a vaccine, such as occurs with a tetanus or polio vaccine
asepsis
Absence of germs or microorganisms.()
bactericidal
Destructive to bacteria.()
bacteriostasis
State in which the development or reproduction of bacteria is suspended.
broad-spectrum antibiotics do not become ill.
Antibiotics that are effective against a wide range of infectious microorganisms
carriers
Animals or persons who harbor and spread a disease-causing organism but who do not become ill.
colonizing
Referring to the establishment of a mass of microorganisms, often nonpathogenic, in or on the body
communicable disease
Any disease that can be transmitted from one person or animal to another by direct or indirect contact or by vectors
complement
Inactive protein compound found in blood serum that is activated when an antigen and an antibody bind together. After a complement is activated, a rapid sequence of catalytic activity changes the shape of antigenic cells
cytolysis
Rupturing of a cell wall, usually occurring after water or ions have entered the cell.
disinfection
Process of killing pathogenic organisms
edema
Abnormal accumulation of fluid in interstitial spaces of tissues
endogenous infection
Infection produced within a cell or organism.
exogenous
infectionInfection originating outside an organ or part
epidemiology
Study of the occurrence, distribution, and causes of disease.
exudates
Fluid, cells, or other substances that have been slowly discharged from cells or blood vessels through small pores or breaks in cell membranes.
epidemiology
Study of the occurrence, distribution, and causes of disease
exogenous infection
Infection originating outside an organ or part.
exudates
Fluid, cells, or other substances that have been slowly discharged from cells or blood vessels through small pores or breaks in cell membranes
