Bacteriocidal antibiotics kill bacteria: bacteriostatic antibiotics only slow their growth or reproduction. Bacteriostatic antibiotics hamper the growth of bacteria by interfering with bacteria protein production, interfering with bacteria DNA production interfering with bacteria cellular metabolism Bacteriostatic antibiotics inhibit growth and repoduction of the bacteria, though do not kill it, while bactericidal antibiotics kill bacteria. ...
The bactericidal ability of the foregoing ozone oxide of glycerin was tested and the result thereof was as follows.
The bactericidal effects of ozone-oxidized glycerin were recognized immediately after the contact in case of Escherichia coli and Pseudomonas aeruginosa, while with a lapse of time in case of Staphylococcus aureus and Salmonella.
Since the bactericidal effects were not recognized in case of glycerin, it is considered that the respective strains were sterilized by ozone-oxidized glycerin.
