• Bacillus subtilis [r]: A Gram-positive, rod-shaped, endospore-forming bacteria, originally called Vibrio subtilis. ^[e]
• Cancer [r]: A generic term for a large group of diseases that can affect any part of the body; one defining feature is the rapid creation of abnormal cells that grow beyond their usual boundaries, and which can then invade adjoining parts of the body and spread to other organs. ^[e]

• Mercaptopurine [r]: Antimetabolite antineoplastic agent with immunosuppressant properties. It interferes with nucleic acid synthesis by inhibiting purine metabolism and is used, usually in combination with other drugs, in the treatment of or in remission maintenance programs for leukemia. ^[e]
• Platelet [r]: Cell fragments circulating in the blood. ^[e]
