IS bicillin bacteriacidal, meaning it kills the bugs, or is it bacteriastatic, meaning it only stops them from replicating?
Anyone know this?

Bicillin: Mechanism of Action

Inhibits bacterial cell wall synthesis by binding to one or more of the penicillin binding proteins (PBPs); which in turn inhibits the final transpeptidation step of peptidoglycan synthesis in bacterial cell walls, thus inhibiting cell wall biosynthesis.

Bacteria eventually lyse due to ongoing activity of cell wall autolytic enzymes (autolysins and murein hydrolases) while cell wall assembly is arrested.
