Instances | aminopenicillin | The aminopenicillins are a group of Antibiotics in the Penicillin family that are structural analogs of ampicillin (which is the 2-amino derivative of benzylpenicillin, hence the name). Like other penicillins and beta-lactam antibiotics, they contain a beta-lactam ring that is crucial to its antibacterial activity. Aminopenicillins feature a positively charged amino group that enhances their uptake through bacterial porin channels. This does not, however, prevent resistance conferred by bacterial beta-lactamases. Members of this family include ampicillin, amoxicillin and bacampicillin.[from Wikipedia] |
| antibiotic | A BiologicallyActiveSubstance than can kill instances of Bacterium. |
| biologically active substance | A Substance that is capable of inducing a change in the structure or functioning of an Organism. This Class includes Substances used in the treatment, diagnosis, prevention or analysis of normal and abnormal body function. This Class also includes Substances that occur naturally in the body and are administered therapeutically. Finally, BiologicallyActiveSubstance includes Nutrients, most drugs of abuse, and agents that require special handling because of their toxicity. |
| entity | The universal class of individuals. This is the root node of the ontology. |
| object | Corresponds roughly to the class of ordinary objects. Examples include normal physical objects, geographical regions, and locations of Processes, the complement of Objects in the Physical class. In a 4D ontology, an Object is something whose spatiotemporal extent is thought of as dividing into spatial parts roughly parallel to the time-axis. |
| oral antibiotic | An Antibiotic that is administered orally, e.g. Penicillin. |
| penicillin | An ingestible antibiotic which kills many kinds of bacteria. |
| physical | An entity that has a location in space-time. Note that locations are themselves understood to have a location in space-time. |
| self connected object | A SelfConnectedObject is any Object that does not consist of two or more disconnected parts. |
| substance | An Object in which every part is similar to every other in every relevant respect. More precisely, something is a Substance when it has only arbitrary pieces as parts - any parts have properties which are similar to those of the whole. Note that a Substance may nonetheless have physical properties that vary. For example, the temperature, chemical constitution, density, etc. may change from one part to another. An example would be a body of water. |
