Bacteriophage therapy
Immunology
The branch of medicine and biology concerned with immunity.
Immutable
Unchanging over time or unable to be changed.
Inhibition
The slowing or prevention of a process, reaction, or function by a particular substance.
Intestinal tract
The small and large intestines in continuity.
Intracellular
Located or occurring within a cell or cells.
Intravenous (IV)
Existing or taking place within, or administered into, a vein or veins. (of a process) Performed or taking place in a test tube, culture dish, or elsewhere outside a living organism. (of a process) Performed or taking place in a living organism. Of or denoting ultracentrifugal separation techniques making use of differences in density between the components of a mixture. The disintegration of a cell by rupture of the cell wall or membrane.
In vitro
In vivo
Isopycnic
Lysis
Lysogeny
The lysogenic cycle.
Macromolecular
Characterized by a very large molecule, such as a polymer or protein, consisting of many smaller structural units linked together. A gene which in certain circumstances can transform a cell into a tumour cell. A bacterium, virus, or other microorganism that can cause disease. A shallow, circular, transparent dish with a flat lid, used for the culture of microorganisms. A technique for the production and screening of novel proteins and polypeptides by inserting a gene fragment into a gene responsible for the surface protein of a bacteriophage. The new protein appears in the surface coating of the phage, in which it can be manipulated and tested for biological activity. A method used for detecting single strains of bacteria using active lytic phages. A collection of data usually in the form of a table summarizing the per cent of individual bacterial pathogens susceptible to different phages. The branch of medicine concerned with the uses, effects, and modes of action of drugs. A clear area in a cell culture caused by the inhibition of growth or destruction of cells by an agent such as a virus. A linear organic polymer consisting of a large number of amino-acid residues bonded together in a chain, forming part of (or the whole of) a protein molecule.
