] |
|
Bacillus firmus
|
D000070098 |
[A species of Bacillus that occurs in soil and marine sediments. Many strains are alkalophilic and able to metabolize HEAVY METALS; it may therefore be a useful species for ENVIRONMENTAL BIODEGRADATION.

|
Bacillus licheniformis
|
D000069976 |
[A species of Bacillus that occurs in soil and is frequently found on bird feathers. Some strains cause FOODBORNE DISEASE, whereas other strains produce ANTIFUNGAL AGENTS and ANTIBACTERIAL AGENTS and function as PROBIOTICS. This species can also produce enzymes for industrial applications.

|
Bacillus megaterium
|
D001410 |
[A species of bacteria whose spores vary from round to elongate. It is a common soil saprophyte.
] |
|
Bacillus pumilus
|
D000069979 |
[A species of Bacillus that occurs in soil, especially around the roots of some plants where it has anti-fungal and anti-nematode activities. It can also produce enzymes for industrial applications.
] |
|
Bacillus subtilis
|
D001412 |
[The source of nattokinase and used for fermenting SOYBEANS to NATTO.
, A species of gram-positive bacteria that is a common soil and water saprophyte.
] |
|
Bacillus thuringiensis
|
D001413 |
[A species of gram-positive bacteria which may be pathogenic for certain insects. It is used for the biological control of the Gypsy moth.
] |
|
Bacillus thuringiensis Toxins
|
D000083722 |
[Endotoxins produced by BACILLUS THURINGIENSIS used in transgenic plants and insecticides. When eaten by a susceptible insect they are protease activated in the insect midgut resulting in death from bacterial septicemia.
] |
|
Bacitracin
|
D001414 |
[A complex of cyclic peptide antibiotics produced by the Tracy-I strain of Bacillus subtilis. The commercial preparation is a mixture of at least nine bacitracins with bacitracin A as the major constituent. It is used topically to treat open infections such as infected eczema and infected dermal ulcers. (From Goodman and Gilman, The Pharmacological Basis of Therapeutics, 8th ed, p1140)

Back
|
D001415 |
[The rear surface of an upright primate from the shoulders to the hip, or the dorsal surface of tetrapods.
] |
|
Back Injuries
|
D019567 |
[General or unspecified injuries to the posterior part of the trunk. It includes injuries to the muscles of the back.
] |
|
Back Muscles
|
D064131 |
[Musculature of the BACK.
, FASCIA of the the PARASPINAL MUSCLES in the lower back to which the ABDOMINAL MUSCLES attach. Flexion of the SPINE is accomplished by the muscles of the ABDOMINAL MUSCLES.
] |
|
Back Pain
|
D001416 |
[Acute or chronic pain located in the posterior regions of the THORAX; LUMBOSACRAL REGION; or the adjacent regions.
] |
|
Background Radiation
|
D001417 |
[Radiation from sources other than the source of interest. It is due to cosmic rays and natural radioactivity in the environment.
] |
|
Baclofen
|
D001418 |
[A GAMMA-AMINOBUTYRIC ACID derivative that is a specific agonist of GABA-B RECEPTORS. It is used in the treatment of MUSCLE SPASTICITY, especially that due to SPINAL CORD INJURIES. Its therapeutic effects result from actions at spinal and supraspinal sites, generally the reduction of excitatory transmission.
] |
|
Bacopa
|
D034681 |
[A plant genus of the family Plantaginaceae. Members contain bacopaside, bacopasaponins and other dammarane type jujubogenins.
] |
|
Bacteremia
|
D016470 |
[The presence of viable bacteria circulating in the blood. Fever, chills, tachycardia, and tachypnea are common acute manifestations of bacteremia. The majority of cases are seen in already hospitalized patients, most of whom have underlying diseases or procedures which render their bloodstreams susceptible to invasion.
] |
|
Bacteria
|
D001419 |
[One of the three domains of life (the others being Eukarya and ARCHAEA), also called Eubacteria. They are unicellular prokaryotic microorganisms which generally possess rigid cell walls, multiply by cell division, and exhibit three principal forms: round or coccal, rodlike or bacillary, and spiral or spirochetal. Bacteria can be classified by their response to OXYGEN: aerobic, anaerobic, or facultatively anaerobic; by the mode by which they obtain their energy: chemotrophy (via chemical reaction) or PHOTOTROPHY (via light reaction); for chemotrophs by their source of chemical energy: CHEMOLITHOTROPHY (from inorganic compounds) or chemoorganotrophy (from organic compounds); and by their source for CARBON; NITROGEN; etc.; HETEROTROPHY (from organic sources) or AUTOTROPHY (from CARBON DIOXIDE). They can also be classified by whether or not they stain (based on the structure of their CELL WALLS) with CRYSTAL VIOLET dye: gram-negative or gram-positive.
