1. Antibiotics A compound that can kill the growth of bacteria
2. Antimicrobial Any naturally occurring or synthetic substance that kills or inhibits growth of
microorganisms
3. Bacteriostatic The ability to inhibit growth and replication of bacteria
4. Bacteriostatic type of antibiotics; the body's immune system is required to immobilize and kill the
organism
5. Bactericidal The ability to kill bacteria is independent of the immune system
6. Bactericidal Agent that is capable of killing bacteria; type of abx
7. Minimum In- The lowest concentration of an antimicrobial agent necessary to inhibit the growth
hibitory Concen- of an organism
tration (MIC)
8. Minimum Bacte- The lowest concentration of an antimicrobial agent necessary to kill an organism
ricidal Concentra-
tion
9. Intracellular Bac- Type of bacteria that retains the ability to reside and replicate within cells (salmo-
teria nella type, legionella app, mycobacteria)
10. Intracellular Bac- Chlamydia is this type of bacteria
teria
11. Extracellular Bac- Type of bacteria that resides and replicates outside cells (streptococci, staphylo-
teria cocci, most gram negative enteric rods)
12. Narrow Spec- Type of abx; effective against a limited number of organisms; unlikely to disrupt
trum normal flora
13. Broad Spectrum Type of abx; effective against multiple organisms from more than a single class
