posterior facial vein (medicine) and resistance-transferring episomes (medicine)


posterior facial vein (medicine)


posterior facial vein -->
retromandibular vein
<anatomy, vein> It is formed by the union of the superficial temporal and maxillary veins in front of the ear, runs posterior to the ramus of the mandible through the parotid gland, and unites with the posterior auricular vein to form the external jugular vein; it usually has a large communicating branch with the facial vein.

Synonym: vena retromandibularis, posterior facial vein, temporomaxillary vein, vena facialis posterior.


resistance-transferring episomes (medicine)


resistance-transferring episomes -->
resistance plasmids


Plasmid's carrying genes responsible for antibiotic (or antibacterial drug) resistance among bacteria (notably Enterobacteriaceae); they may be conjugative or nonconjugative plasmid's, the former possessing transfer genes (resistance transfer factor) lacking in the latter.

Synonym: R factors, R plasmids, resistance factors, resistance-transferring episomes.
