| It is an established fact that tyrothricin and its salts are antibiotic substances with a bacteriostatic effect. |
| Clindamycin or linezolid may be used if sensitivity has been documented and a bacteriostatic antibiotic is sufficient. |
| Additional chlorhexidine digluconate provides a longterm bacteriostatic effect. |
| Although more effective than merbromin, thimerosal shares the disadvantage of poor tissue penetration and tissue fixation and therefore has limited bacteriostatic activity. |
| During preparation no antiseptic or bacteriostatic or other substances shall be added. |
| Some antibiotics, such as azithromycin and clarithromycin, concentrate intracellularly, not in middle ear fluid, and are bacteriostatic, not bactericidal. |
