Question 1 of 5

Which of the following differentiates a bacteriostatic drug from a bactericidal drug?

Correct Answer: D

Rationale: The correct answer is D: Bacteriostatic drugs inhibit bacterial growth, and bactericidal drugs actually kill bacteria. Bacteriostatic drugs prevent bacteria from reproducing, allowing the body's immune system to remove the existing bacteria naturally. Bactericidal drugs, on the other hand, directly kill the bacteria. This differentiation is crucial in determining the appropriate treatment for various infections.
Choice A is incorrect because the spectrum of activity (narrow or broad) does not define bacteriostatic or bactericidal properties.
Choice B is incorrect as it confuses the mechanisms of action of the drugs.
Choice C is incorrect as bacteriostatic drugs do not kill bacteria.
