What are cytokines?

Signalling proteins

What is an antigen?

Proteins that activate an immune response by stimulating immune cells.

300

What are Antibodies?

Produced by lymphocytes, Bind to antigens to signal/produce immune response.

Microbiology

100

What is a pure culture?

only 1 species of bacteria

200

What does ‘Bacteriostatic’ mean?

Antimicrobial that prevent bacteria growth by stopping division.

300

What does ‘Bactericidal’ mean?

Antimicrobial that prevents bacterial growth by killing the bacteria

400

3 critical steps in identification of vet diagnostic bacteriology

• Correct sampling procedure & provision of adequate history.
• Transport to the lab to ensure viability of the suspect organism & minimal contamination.
• Growth, identification & antibiotic sensitivity testing of aetiological agent.

500

What is MALDI-TOF

Uses laser-absorbing matrix to create ions which can be detected by the machine. This detection produces a spectrum which can be compared to other bacterial profiles in a database. Used to identify species of bacteria.
