Are Bacteriostatic Agents Used Alone or in Combination?
In clinical practice, bacteriostatic agents are often used in combination with other antimicrobials to enhance their efficacy. This combination therapy can help prevent the development of resistance and achieve a broader spectrum of activity. For example, trimethoprim-sulfamethoxazole is a combination of two bacteriostatic agents that act synergistically to inhibit bacterial folate synthesis.
