Answer 1

The bacteriostatic antibiotic from the following is tetracycline.

Explanation:

Tetracycline is a bacteriostatic antibiotic that prevents bacteria from multiplying in the body by interfering with bacterial protein creation, DNA replication, and other elements of bacterial cellular metabolism. Chloramphenicel, salfonamides, spectinomycin, and other antibiotics are included in this category.

Bactericidal antibiotics, on the other hand, include penicillin, aminoglycosides, and ofloxacin.
