A bacteriostatic is a compound which has the effect of preventing bacterial growth. These agents do not kill bacteria like bactericidal compounds; instead, they limit further replication of bacteria at the site where they are introduced. Several antibiotic drugs are bacteriostatic agents, with tetracyclines being a notable example.
Single-drug and combination therapy from the perspective of single cells.Our hypothesis, namely, that bacteriostatic drugs antagonize bactericidal drugs, is independent of the individual molecular mechanisms of action of the drugs but is reliant on the effects of antibiotics on the growth dynamics of single cells.
