Bacteriotropic
Definition
Directing toward or exhibiting an elective affinity for bacteria; relating to substances, antibodies, or chemical agents capable of interacting specifically and directly with the bacterial cell. In an immune sense, bacteriotropic properties are essential for recognition molecules that bind to the microbial wall, facilitating the subsequent process of opsonization and cellular destruction.
