Bactericidal antibiotics kill bacteria; bacteriostatic antibiotics slow their growth or reproduction. Antibiotics that inhibit cell wall synthesis: the Beta-lactam antibiotics (penicillin derivatives (penams), cephalosporins (cephems), monobactams, and carbapenems) and vancomycin. Also bactericidal are daptomycin, fluoroquinolones, metronidazole, nitrofurantoin, co-trimoxazole, telithromycin.
We've seen that bactericidal antibiotics kill bacteria directly, and bacteriostatic antibiotics stop bacteria from growing. Whether an antibiotic is bactericidal or bacteriostatic depends on what exactly the drug does to the bacterium. We've also learned about the spectrum of activity of antibiotics.
