Cefaclor is used for treatment of infections caused by susceptible organisms including H influenzae and for treatment of otitis media, sinusitis, and infections involving the respiratory tract. It may not be appropriate in acute sinusitis, owing to less activity and the potential for severe allergic reactions.
nitrogen-fixing bacteria noun [pl]. âº biology âbacteria that can âabsorb nitrogen from the âair and âchange it into a âform that âplants can use for âfood. (Definition of nitrogen-fixing bacteria from the Cambridge Academic Content Dictionary Â© Cambridge University Press). See all translations.
Rhizobia are soil bacteria that fix nitrogen (diazotrophs) after becoming established inside root nodules of legumes (Fabaceae). In order to express genes for nitrogen fixation, rhizobia require a plant host; they cannot independently fix nitrogen.pecific strains of rhizobia are required to make functional nodules on the roots able to fix the N2. Having this specific rhizobia present is beneficial to the legume, as the N2 fixation can increase crop yield.
