Differences between bacteriostatic and bacteriolytic agent?
Two possible ones: the bactericidal will kill off many more than just the one you want to target (killing off very helpful ones) or the bactericidal is rather toxic to the host (you). If you use the bacteriostatic, the body will have more time to mount an effective counter attack and win.
