putrefactive

Or, putrefactive changes which frequently take place after the urine has stood for a time may cause some of its normal constituents to be precipitated.

They were exposing them to the air, to moulds, to putrefactive bacteria, to decay, to spoliation, to destruction.

Gastro-intestinal bacteria are thought to be responsible for the majority of the putrefactive processes that occur in cadavers and carcasses.

--Exceedingly minute, spherical, oblong, or cylindrical cells which are concerned in putrefactive processes.

That they did not bury any of their dead, and the reckless slaughter they perpetrated, point also to an entire ignorance of the putrefactive process.

He was also the earliest American pioneer in the related field of disinfection in which he began with experiments (1878) with putrefactive bacteria.

In evaluating the results, he distinguished chemical poisoning from infection with microorganisms on the one hand, and pathogenic from putrefactive bacteria on the other.

He had the idea that aging is caused by putrefactive activity, or proteolysis, by microbes that produce toxic substances in the intestine.

This prevents some scavengers from opening the carcasses, thus allowing the putrefactive bacteria within the carcass to kill the vegetative B. anthracis cells and preventing sporulation.

Together with Gscheidlen, an assistant of Rudolf Heidenhain he was the first to demonstrate via animal experiments that the organism has the ability to eliminate putrefactive bacteria.

On the other hand, there may be some beneficial effects to ingesting oligosaccharides such as raffinose and stachyose, namely, encouraging indigenous bifidobacteria in the colon against putrefactive bacteria.

Infection causes Edwardsiella septicemia (also known as ES, edwardsiellosis, emphysematous putrefactive disease of catfish, fish gangrene and red disease) in channel fish, eels and flounder.

Remember heartburn, first used in 1597, defined by the O.E.D. as "an uneasy burning in the lower part of the chest, due to putrefactive fermentation of the food in the stomach"?

Beneath the instruction of the Martian, before landing, they slew these reptiles, incinerating them completely with infra-red beams, so that not even their carcasses would remain to taint the air with putrefactive effluvia.

Metchnikoff, at that time a professor at the Pasteur Institute in Paris, proposed the hypothesis that the aging process results from the activity of putrefactive (proteolytic) microbes producing toxic substances in the large bowel.

According to Remington's Pharmaceutical Sciences: Glutamic Acid Hydrochloric is administered orally to counterbalance a deficiency of hydrochloric acid in the gastric juices, and to inhibit the growth of putrefactive microorganisms in ingested food.

Several times we came across the corpse of some poor animal, caught in a disaster beyond its comprehension; despite the blaze, the putrefactive processes of the forest worked vigorously, and we were forced to endure a stink of decay and death as we walked.

- slain by the putrefactive and disease bacteria against which their systems were unprepared; slain as the red weed was being slain; slain, after all man's devices had failed, by the humblest things that God, in his wisdom, has put upon this earth.

Furthermore, we know that coliform varieties of Staphylococcus are important members of the aerobic putrefactive bacteria and that members of the Clostridia genus make up a large part of anaerobic putrefactive bacteria.
