Pronunciation: [nˈɛɡətˌɪv kˌiːmə͡ʊtˈaksɪs] (IPA) 
Negative chemotaxis is a term used to describe the movement of microorganisms, such as bacteria, away from a particular chemical or compound. There are several synonyms for this term, including repellence, avoidance behavior, negative taxis, and chemorepulsion. These terms all describe the same process by which microorganisms sense and respond to the presence of certain chemicals in their environment, either by moving towards or away from them. While negative chemotaxis is an important survival mechanism for many microorganisms, it can also have implications for human health. For example, certain bacteria that exhibit negative chemotaxis may be more difficult to treat with antibiotics, as they are able to avoid the drugs by moving away from them.
