What's the difference between bactericide and bacteriocide?
Bactericide
Definition:
(n.) Same as Germicide.

(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.
Bacteriocide
Definition:
Example Sentences:
(1) The antagonistic effects were almost eliminated by treatment with proteases, whereas they were heat resistant and bacteriostatic rather than bacteriocidal.
(2) The antibiotic was bacteriostatic to the organism for the initial 5 h of exposure; thereafter it was bacteriocidal.
(3) The other component (protein A), which was of high molecular weight, had 100-fold higher in vitro ribosome-inactivating activity than native colicin E3, but had lower bacteriocidal activity.
(4) Targeted expression of this kind may be used for the production of therapeutic and industrial proteins, to increase the concentration or modify the nature of milk proteins, reduce the concentration of lactose, change the composition of fat or direct production of bacteriocidal proteins in milk in order to combat mastitis.
(5) Hemocytes were responsible for most of this bacteriocidal activity and toxic oxygen intermediates were involved in the phagocytic defense mechanisms of these cells.
(6) The endotoxin most susceptible to polymyxin B was derived from an organism resistant to polymyxin B by disk sensitivity testing, suggesting that the bacteriocidal and endotoxin detoxifying properties of polymyxin need not be directly related.
(7) Myeloperoxidase (MPO), the most abundant neutrophil protein, is a bacteriocidal component of the primary granules and a critical marker in distinguishing acute myelogenous leukemia from acute lymphoid leukemia.
(8) With one exception - polymyxins show a rapid fall of the power-time-curve to the zeroline, just like disinfectants - one can clearly differentiate bacteriocidal chemotherapeutics from bacteriocidal disinfectants using microcalorimetry.
(9) Group H streptococci (strain Challis) which are competent for transformation release a bacteriocin into liquid medium which is bacteriocidal for another group H streptococcus (strain Wicky).
(10) DnaK overproduction was found to be bacteriocidal, and this effect was also partially suppressed by DnaJ.
(11) This figure should also be relevant to regimens including drugs that are more bacteriocidal than dapsone, since the bacteriocidal activity has a bearing on the minimal necessary duration of treatment, but not on the incubation time of relapses.
(12) The diethyl homologue (NdEA) had little or no mutagenic effect at low concentrations, although the bacteriocidal effects of NdMA and NdEA were similar.
(13) In this study, background factors were determined in 108 surgical patients who showed depression in phagocytic and bacteriocidal activity with nitroblue tetrazolium reduction test.
(14) This resulted in the simultaneous production of two mutant species, one containing a Thr residue and the other containing a dehydrobutyrine residue at position 18, both having different bacteriocidal properties.
(15) An extracellular bacteriocidal substance is produced by a serotype c strain of Streptococcus mutans in liquid meduim during the stationary phase of growth.
(16) Three commercially available cements, CMW-1G, CMW-3G and Palacos R with gentamicin were studied with regard to bacteriocidal properties, tissue compatibility in cell culture, and ability to seal tooth cavities as evidenced by dye diffusion.
