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.
INTRODUCTION: Antibiotics have traditionally been classified as bactericidal or bacteriostatic. Azithromycin belongs to the parent class of macrolides that are characteristically bacteriostatic. Some evidence suggests that this molecule demonstrates bactericidal kill and has concentration-dependent effects.he pharmacodynamic properties of azithromycin in a kinetics-of-kill model and implications for bacterial conjunctivitis treatment.
