PLEASE MAKE MY ANSWER AS BRAINLIEST ANSWER

Antibacterial therapy, a keystone in modern medical practice, provides one of the only pharmacologic treatments that cure disease. Many clinicians have accepted certain assumptions and generalizations concerning antibacterial therapy that are not necessarily based on rigorous scientific evidence. One of these hypotheses is that agents with in vitro bactericidal activity are preferred to agents with in vitro bacteriostatic activity.

Newly discovered antibacterial agents are tested in vitro not only for ability to inhibit the bacteria, but also to determine whether the new agent actually “killed” the bacteria. Although it would seem preferable for an antibiotic to kill the offending bacteria rather than to merely inhibit it, the clinical importance of an in vitro bactericidal action being better than a bacteriostatic action has rarely been documented.
