– KILLS the pathogen
– All CW synthesis inhibitors
Bactericidal
– INHIBITS/ STOPS the growth of pathogens
– All CHON synthesis inhibitors and antimetabolites EXCEPT Aminoglycosides (-cidal)
Bacteriostatic
Result of the 2 day testing is equivalent to the most effective drug
Autonomous/ Indifferent
- > 15 mm — susceptible
- 13-14 mm — intermediate
- < 13 mm — resistant
Zone of Inhibition
- 1 + 1 = 2
- B’cidal + B’cidal

Addition
- 1 + 1 = 0
- B’cidal + B’static
- Tetracycline + Amoxicillin
Antagonism
- 1 + 1 = 3
- B’static + B’static
- Pens + Ag
- Sulfamethoxazole + Trimthoprim
Synergism
- 1 + 1 = 0
* Pens + B lactamase inhibitors
Potentiation
