Bacteria, Thermoduric
|
D000072280 |

Bacterial Adhesion
|
D001422 |
[Physicochemical property of fimbriated (FIMBRIAE, BACTERIAL) and non-fimbriated bacteria of attaching to cells, tissue, and nonbiological surfaces. It is a factor in bacterial colonization and pathogenicity.
] |
Bacterial Capsules
|
D016667 |
[An envelope of loose gel surrounding a bacterial cell which is associated with the virulence of pathogenic bacteria. Some capsules have a well-defined border, whereas others form a slime layer that trails off into the medium. Most capsules consist of relatively simple polysaccharides but there are some bacteria whose capsules are made of polypeptides.

Bacterial Chromatophores
|
D020130 |
[Organelles of phototrophic bacteria which contain photosynthetic pigments and which are formed from an invagination of the cytoplasmic membrane.
] |
Bacterial Infections
|
D001424 |
[Infections by bacteria, general or unspecified.
] |
Bacterial Infections and Mycoses
|
D001423 |
[Infections caused by bacteria and fungi, general, specified, or unspecified.
] |
Bacterial Load
|
D058491 |
[Measurable quantity of bacteria in an object, organism, or organism compartment.
] |
Bacterial Outer Membrane
|
D000080943 |
[The outermost cell envelope of GRAM-NEGATIVE BACTERIA composed of PHOSPHOLIPIDS; LIPOPOLYSACCHARIDES (LPS), and BACTERIAL OUTER MEMBRANE PROTEINS. The bacterial outer membrane LPS demonstrates cytotoxicity (see LIPID A and BACTERIAL O ANTIGEN).
] |
Bacterial Outer Membrane Proteins
|
D001425 |
[Proteins isolated from the outer membrane of Gram-negative bacteria.
] |
Bacterial Physiological Phenomena
|
D018407 |
[Physiological processes and properties of BACTERIA.
, The functions, behavior, and activities of bacteria.
] |
Bacterial Proteins
|
D001426 |
[Proteins found in any species of bacterium.
] |
Bacterial Proton-Translocating ATPases
|
D025243 |
[Membrane-bound proton-translocating ATPases that serve two important physiological functions in bacteria. One function is to generate ADENOSINE TRIPHOSPHATE by utilizing the energy provided by an electrochemical gradient of protons across the cellular membrane. A second function is to counteract a loss of the transmembrane ion gradient by pumping protons at the expense of adenosine triphosphate hydrolysis.
] |
Bacterial Secretion Systems
|
D058947 |
[In GRAM NEGATIVE BACTERIA, multiprotein complexes that function to translocate pathogen protein effector molecules across the bacterial cell envelope, often directly into the host. These effectors are involved in producing surface structures for adhesion, bacterial motility, manipulation of host functions, modulation of host defense responses, and other functions involved in facilitating survival of the pathogen. Several of the systems have homologous components functioning similarly in GRAM POSITIVE BACTERIA.

Bacterial Shedding
|
D057138 |
[The expelling of bacteria from the body. Important routes include the respiratory tract, genital tract, and intestinal tract.
] |
Bacterial Structures
|
D056226 |
[The parts of bacteria.
] |
Bacterial Toxins
|
D001427 |
[Toxic substances formed in or elaborated by bacteria; they are usually proteins with high molecular weight and antigenicity; some are used as antibiotics and some to skin test for the presence of or susceptibility to certain diseases.
] |
Bacterial Transferrin Receptor Complex
|
D033901 |
[A complex of proteins that forms a receptor for TRANSFERRIN in BACTERIA. Many pathogenic bacteria utilize the transferrin-binding complex to acquire their supply of iron from serum.
] |
Bacterial Translocation
|
D018988 |
[The passage of viable bacteria from the GASTROINTESTINAL TRACT to extra-intestinal sites, such as the mesenteric lymph node complex, liver, spleen, kidney, and blood. Factors that promote bacterial translocation include overgrowth with gram-negative enteric bacilli, impaired host immune defenses, and injury to the INTESTINAL MUCOSA resulting in increased intestinal permeability. Bacterial translocation from the lung to the circulation is also possible and sometimes accompanies MECHANICAL VENTILATION.
