Question:
Identify the correct antibiotic set:
Identify the correct antibiotic set:
Show Hint
Know spectrum and mechanism (bacteriostatic/bactericidal) for common antibiotics.
Updated On: Mar 6, 2026
- Penicillin G - Narrow spectrum - Bacteriostatic
- Ofloxacin - Broad spectrum - Bactericidal
- Amoxycillin - Narrow spectrum - Bactericidal
- Chloramphenicol - Broad spectrum - Bactericidal
Hide Solution
Verified By Collegedunia
The Correct Option is B
Solution and Explanation
Ofloxacin is a fluoroquinolone, broad spectrum, bactericidal. Penicillin G is narrow spectrum and bactericidal, not bacteriostatic. Chloramphenicol is bacteriostatic.
