List of antibiotics

This list is incomplete; you can help byexpanding it.

The following is a list of antibiotics. The highest divi-sion is between bactericidal antibiotics and bacteriostaticantibiotics. Bactericidals kill bacteria directly, whereasbacteriostatics prevent them from dividing. However,these classifications are based on laboratory behavior. Inpractice, both can effectively treat a bacterial infection.[1]
