• Abscess [r]: Accumulation of purulent material in tissues, organs, or circumscribed spaces, usually associated with signs of infection. ^[e]
• Acute kidney injury [r]: Formerly termed acute renal failure (ARF), an abrupt (within 48 hours) reduction in kidney function currently defined as an absolute increase in serum creatinine, a percentage increase in serum creatinine , or a reduction in urine output beyond quantitatively defined levels ^[e]
• Antibiotic resistance [r]: The development of resistance to an antibiotic in an organism originally susceptible to it ^[e]
• Bacterial endocarditis [r]: Inflammation of the heart caused by the direct invasion of bacteria and leading to deformity and destruction of the valve leaflets. ^[e]
• Bacteria [r]: A major group of single-celled microorganisms. ^[e]
• Cellulitis [r]: Acute, diffuse, inflammation of loose connective tissue, particularly the deep subcutaneous tissues, and sometimes muscle, usually due to infection and associated with redness, pain, swelling and warmth to the touch ^[e]
• Central venous catheterization [r]: Surgical procedure used for inserting a medical tube into one of the large veins of the body. ^[e]
• Clindamycin [r]: An antibiotic drug, in the lincomycin class, used to treat infections including methicillin-resistant Staphylococcus aureus; use is associated with an increased incidence of Clostridium difficile enteritis ^[e]
• Cross infection [r]: Any infection which a patient contracts in a health-care institution. ^[e]
• Cystitis [r]: Inflammation of the urinary bladder, often resulting from a bacterial infection. ^[e]
• Digital object identifier [r]: Unique label for a computer readable object that can be found on the internet, usually used in academic journals. ^[e]
• Food and Drug Administration [r]: The agency of the United States Department of Health and Human Services responsible for regulating food, dietary supplements, drugs, biological medical products, blood products, medical devices, radiation-emitting devices, veterinary products, and cosmetics. ^[e]
• Gangrene [r]: Destruction of biological tissue, primarily from a compromised blood supply, but also from destructive microorganisms or their exotoxins ^[e]
• Health care quality assurance [r]: Activities and programs intended to assure or improve the quality of care in either a defined medical setting or a program. ^[e]
• Medical error [r]: Mistakes made in a medical setting with respect to patient care, sanitation or medical administration. A mistake is less than optimal action, thus failure to set up efficient procedures and routines which minimize mistakes is medical error. ^[e]
• Peritonitis [r]: An inflammation of the peritoneum (the serous membrane which lines part of the abdominal cavity and some of the viscera it contains). ^[e]
• Phagocytosis [r]: That part of immune response in which defensive cells such as neutrophils and macrophages surround and "digest" foreign particles ^[e]
• Platelet [r]: Cell fragments circulating in the blood. ^[e]
• Pseudomembranous enterocolitis [r]: Enterocolitis with the formation and passage of pseudomembranous material in the stools, caused by a necrolytic exotoxin made by Clostridium difficile. ^[e]
• Quorum sensing [r]: Ability of populations of bacteria to communicate and coordinate their behavior via inter-cellular and inter-species signaling molecules. ^[e]
• Staphylococcus epidermidis [r]: Non-motile Gram-positive cocci, a part of human flora and the mucous membranes of animals, that's becoming increasingly resistant to antibiotics due to continuous overuse. ^[e]
• Trimethoprim-Sulfamethoxazole combination [r]: A widely used synergistic combination of two antibiotics, with broad-spectrum antibacterial activity against both Gram-positive and Gram-negative organisms, including Pneumocystis jiroveci (formerly Pneumocystis carini) pneumonia in AIDS and methicillin-resistant Staphylococcus aureus ^[e]
• U.S. intelligence analysis of patterns of infectious diseases and impacts [r]: The United States intelligence community model for the spread and world impact of infectious disease ^[e]
• Vancomycin [r]: A glycopeptide antibiotic used in the prophylaxis and treatment of infections caused by Gram-positive bacteria, especially methicillin-resistant Staphylococcus aureus (MRSA) ^[e]
