Polymyxin B-sulfate and Chloramphenicol belong to the class of antibiotics that work by destroying bacteria. It does this by destroying the cell wall of the bacteria (bacterial protective covering). It also stops the growth of bacteria and does not allow the bacteria to spread across other parts of the body as well.
