need help with vocab terms

Published

I need some help with an assignment of med. terms that is a group project and we have searched through all of our texts and internet with nothing found. Does anybody know the answers to these:

*Topically applied agents that inhibit the growth of bacteria-we are thinking dressings but not sure if the instructor is tricking us

*term that means red, swollen, and hardened:

*type of immunity in which memory cells are not transferred to the recipient:

Please help!!! We are not stupid n. students-just very stumped right now. Thank you

How about Bacteriostatic for this one. I think it fits a little better since your question only asks about bacteria and antiseptics cover all microorganisms
