What's the difference between bactericidal and bactericide?

Bactericidal


Definition:

  • (a.) Destructive of bacteria.

Example Sentences:

  • (1) The 0.1 M phosphate buffer eluant was electrophoretically heterogeneous and did not elicit the production of bactericidal antibodies in rabbits.
  • (2) The serum of these patients caused mainly a fall of the bactericidal activity of the leucocytes, and this was caused more frequently by a deficit of the opsonizing factors than by the presence of inhibitor.
  • (3) Depressed PMN chemotactic responsiveness was observed in 17.5% of 97 patients studied, depressed PMN bactericidal activity in 23.3% of 30 patients, and depressed PMN chemiluminescence activity in 15.8% of 19 patients.
  • (4) Serum from piglets of vaccinated sows had no more bactericidal activity than did sera from non-vaccinated sows.
  • (5) Immunized nonvirus-infected animals showed enhancement of pulmonary bactericidal activity for the homologous and heterologous strains in comparison with nonimmunized animals.
  • (6) Bactericidal effects were observed for concentrations as low as 0.025%.
  • (7) Comparison with bactericidal activity of the same sera was done.
  • (8) Whey obtained by acid precipitation or by the application of rennin was devoid of bactericidal activity but was capable of slowing down proliferation of E coli.
  • (9) Bactericidal effects were also demonstrated by benzyl penicillin against Clostridium welchii and ampicillin against Escherichia coli.
  • (10) Since this cytokine has been reported to activate polymorphonuclear leukocyte (PMN) function, the effect of TNF on the in vitro bactericidal capacity of PMN-enriched cultures was determined.
  • (11) The involvement of other bacterial lipoproteins in conferring resistance to the bactericidal effects of complement prompted us to examine this possibility in V. cholerae.
  • (12) The resistance of gonococci in most patients to complement mediated killing by human serum is due to sialylation of their lipopolysaccharide (LPS) which prevents bactericidal antibody from reacting with target sites.
  • (13) None bactericidal effect was observed with each beta-lactamin alone.
  • (14) Ciprofloxacin has a bactericidal activity at concentrations obtained in urine and into lung tissue.
  • (15) Minimal bactericidal concentrations for gram-positive cocci approximated the minimal inhibitory concentrations.
  • (16) Piperacillin, ceftazidime, imipenem, and ciprofloxacin were not bactericidal for three selected P. pseudomallei strains as determined by time-kill curve methods.
  • (17) 38 of 39 strains (97%) of N. gonorrhoeae from Seattle patients with disseminated gonococcal infection were resistant to the complement-dependent bactericidal action of normal human sera.
  • (18) Further investigations demonstrated that chitotriose and chitobiose were also potent inhibitors of the bactericidal activity of the cationic homopolypeptides poly-L-arginine and poly-D-lysine.
  • (19) Depleting normal human serum of antibodies to P6 by affinity chromatography resulted in reduced bactericidal activity of that serum for nontypeable H. influenzae.
  • (20) Despite defective bactericidal function of monocytes, the patient's macrophages killed bacteria normally.

Bactericide


Definition:

  • (n.) Same as Germicide.
