bacteriostatic
Bacteriostatic refers to a treatment, condition, or substance that inhibits the growth and reproduction of bacteria, without necessarily killing them. It refers to the ability to prevent the bacterial cells from multiplying, thereby containing the spread of infection. Bacteriostatic agents or drugs can be contrasted with bactericidal agents, which are capable of killing bacteria directly.
