When treating an infection, physicians may face a choice between using a bactericidal (bacteria-killing) drug, a bacteriostatic (bacteria-inhibiting) drug or a combination of the two. The solution ...

However, combining them with pleurocidin/WF2 enhanced bactericidal cooperativity. This effect varied depending on bacterial resistance and the peptide enantiomer used.

Thus, an equation of bactericidal synergy could be formulated for the combination. The bactericidal activity of sulbactam/ampicillin was assessed against one strain of each group and against a ...

We hypothesized that UVB would show bactericidal action like UVC, and we produced a small NB-UVB (310 nm) LED device for intraoral use to examine the bactericidal effects on oral bacteria.
