“…The mode of action of antibiotics is also concentration-dependent. Commonly used bactericidal antibiotics are fluoroquinolones and β-lactam, whereas bacteriostatic antibiotics are chloramphenicol, tetracyclines, trimethoprim/sulfamethoxazole, linezolid, macrolides, and clindamycin. , Despite their extensive antimicrobial activity, bacteriostatic antibiotics often inhibit the growth of microbes, thus they work synergistically with the host’s immune system to get rid of the microbes. ,− Treating the patient with this class of antibiotics does not require intensive monitoring. , In our study, we have used different antibiotics, among which norfloxacin and ciprofloxacin are bactericidal (BC) in nature, while chloramphenicol and tetracycline are bacteriostatic (BS). , These antibiotics are used for the treatment of many infectious diseases; for example, norfloxacin is used to treat acute diarrhea, complicated urinary tract infections (UTIs), and gonococcal urethritis; ciprofloxacin is effective in treating UTIs, gall bladder infections, serious gastrointestinal infections, eye infections, gonorrhea; chloramphenicol is effective as conjunctivitis eyedrops, ointment for surgical wounds; tetracycline is used for the treatment of many bacterial infections including acne vulgaris. − This broad binary classification system of antibiotics varies in different organisms with corresponding concentrations . In our study, we have used Escherichia coli to evaluate the efficacy of these antibiotics.…”
