Microbicide
Definition:
(n.) Any agent detrimental to, or destructive of, the life of microbes or bacterial organisms.
Example Sentences:
(1) In experiments on dogs using the chemiluminescent method and nitroblue-tetrazole reaction the authors found out that leucocytes while passing through the pulmonary vessels bed, in contrast to the spleen increase the generation of active microbicidal forms of oxygen.
(2) Estradiol 17 beta prevented the fall in the microbicidal activity of the myeloperoxidase-H2O2-halide system induced by high H2O2 concentrations.
(3) The instrument disinfectants showed microbicidal efficacy up to 12 days at working concentrations slightly increased in relation to the concentrations listed by the DGHM.
(4) Alveolar macrophages from the 3 groups of subjects had similar limited microbicidal ability for the obligate intracellular protozoan, Toxoplasma gondii, and similar numbers of elastase receptors and affinity for elastase.
(5) Loss of succinate-dependent respiration was closely associated with HOCl and myeloperoxidase-mediated microbicidal activity against P. aeruginosa and was also an early event in the oxidant-mediated metabolic dysfunctions of E. coli.
(6) These studies are discussed in relation to the role of the superoxide anion and chemiluminescence in the microbicidal activity of the polymorphonuclear leukocyte.
(7) Myeloperoxidase, a granule-associated enzyme of neutrophils and monocytes, combines with H2O2 and chloride to form a potent microbicidal system that contributes to phagocyte antimicrobial activity.
(8) With this method of cryopreservation the phagocytic function of mature neutrophils is retained to some extent but their capacity to reduce NBT and their microbicidal activity are completely lost.
