Quizplus · Accepted Answer

The data provided only shows the zone of inhibition sizes for different antibiotics, which indicates the effectiveness of the antibiotics in inhibiting bacterial growth. However, it does not differentiate between bacteriostatic (inhibiting the growth of bacteria) and bactericidal (killing bacteria) actions.
