Thus, it prevents the entry of unwanted substances into the cells and stops the leakage of cell contents. Chloramphenicol is bacteriostatic (prevents bacterial growth) in nature, with excellent eye penetration, and exhibits broad-spectrum coverage against various bacteria that cause eye infections by inhibiting the protein synthesis process required for bacterial survival.
