Why is tetracycline bacteriostatic?
Tetracycline is considered bacteriostatic because it inhibits bacterial protein synthesis by binding to the 30S ribosomal subunit, preventing the attachment of aminoacyl-tRNA to the mRNA-ribosome complex. This halts the growth and reproduction of bacteria without directly killing them, allowing the host's immune system to eliminate the infection. Tetracycline's action is reversible, meaning that once the drug is removed, bacterial growth may resume if the bacteria are not eliminated by the immune response.
