Is Azithromycin Bactericidal
"On whether azithromycin has bactericidal effect"
In the study of medical science, it is necessary to investigate the properties of the drug in detail. Azithromycin, in the field of antibacterial, has different opinions on whether it is bactericidal or not, which is the key to the doctor's investigation.
In terms of pharmacology, azithromycin belongs to macrolides. Its mechanism of action is combined with the 50S subunit of the bacterial ribosome to inhibit the synthesis of bacterial proteins. However, in this process, whether it causes bacterial death is bactericidal; whether it inhibits its growth or only inhibits its growth is bacteriostatic, which needs to be investigated carefully.
Studies have shown that under specific strains, specific concentrations and environments, azithromycin can cause bacterial membrane rupture, nucleic acid leakage, and eventually bacterial death, which shows its bactericidal effect. In the case of Streptococcus pneumoniae, etc., under appropriate doses, it can break the cell wall structure, make the osmotic pressure in the bacteria unbalanced, and the bacteria lyse, which has significant bactericidal power.
However, there are also views that azithromycin mostly inhibits bacterial growth and reproduction, rather than direct killing. Because in some experimental conditions and clinical cases, bacteria can resume growth after stopping the drug, which seems to be only bacteriostatic.
In summary, whether azithromycin sterilizes or not is not a generalization. Depending on the strain, drug concentration, action time and body environment and other factors. When the doctor uses the drug, he should understand this change and weigh the pros and cons to achieve the best healing effect.
