What is a Bacteriostatic? A bacteriostatic is a compound which has the effect of preventing bacterial growth. These agents do not kill bacteria like bactericidal compounds; instead, they limit further replication of bacteria at the site where they are introduced. Several antibiotic drugs are bacteriostatic agents, with tetracyclines being a notable example.

Listeriosis Listeria are small, non–acid-fast, noncapsulated, nonsporulating, beta-hemolytic, aerobic, and facultative anaerobic gram-positive bacilli that have characteristic tumbling motility. They are present worldwide in the environment and in the gut of humans, nonhuman mammals, birds, arachnids, and crustaceans.

Stenotrophomonas maltophilia Stenotrophomonas maltophilia is a motile non-fermentative, gram negative bacillus that is readily isolated from environmental sources and water. It is an obligate aerobe, and is capable of growth between 5o and 40oC (18). S. maltophilia isolates from environmental and clinical sources represent a number of genomic groups, which may possibly be of clinical significance, although this remains to be established (13, 35, 37).

List of antibiotics This list is incomplete; you can help by expanding it. The following is a list of antibiotics. The highest division is between bactericidal antibiotics and bacteriostatic antibiotics. Bactericidals kill bacteria directly, whereas bacteriostatics prevent them from dividing. However, these classifications are based on laboratory behavior.

- Some kill the bacteria directly, and are called bactericidal and others prevent the bacteria from spreading and are called bacteriostatic. Bacteriostatic antibiotics slow the growth of the bacteria and allow the immune system to kill it off.

A term used to refer to any member of the genus Streptococcus. /Strep·to·coc·cus/ (-kok´us) a genus of gram-positive, facultatively anaerobic cocci occurring in pairs or chains; it is separable into the pyogenic group, the viridans group, the enterococcus group, and the lactic group. genus of nonmotile (with few exceptions), non-spore-forming, aerobic to facultatively anaerobic bacteria (family Lactobacillaceae) containing gram-positive, spheric or ovoid cells that occur in pairs or in short or long chains.

- BACILLUS THURINGIENSIS (B.T.). Bacillus thuringiensis (B.t.) is a live microorganism that kills certain insects and is used to kill unwanted insects in forests, agriculture, and urban areas. In a purified form, some of the proteins produced by B.t. are acutely toxic to mammals.

- Stenotrophomonas maltophilia. Stenotrophomonas maltophilia is  an aerobic, nonfermentative, Gram-negative bacterium. It is an uncommon bacterium and human infection is difficult to treat. Initially classified as Bacterium bookeri, then renamed Pseudomonas maltophilia, S. maltophilia was also grouped in the genus Xanthomonas before eventually becoming the type species of the genus Stenotrophomonas in 1993.

- A person with abnormally low levels of blood sugar (glucose) has hypoglycemia. Glucose is the body's main energy source. Hypoglycemia is not a disease in itself; it is a sign of a health problem.The majority of people know when their blood sugar levels have dropped, and have time to do something about it. Reactive hypoglycemia (postprandial hypoglycemia) - this is when the pancreas produces too much insulin after a meal. 2  Tumors-tumors in other parts of the body (not the pancreas) can cause hypoglycemia. 3  This is very rare.

Dysbiosis Dysbiosis (also called dysbacteriosis) is a term for a microbial imbalance on or inside the body. Dysbiosis is most commonly reported as a condition in the digestive tract.It has been reported to be associated with illnesses, such as inflammatory bowel disease, chronic fatigue syndrome, obesity, cancer, bacterial vaginosis, and colitis.ysbiosis may be caused by such diverse things as repeated and inappropriate antibiotic exposure, alcohol misuse, or inappropriate diet.
