Phenothiazine | MIC µg/mL | Bacteriostatic/ Bactericidal | |
---|---|---|---|
Gram +ve | Gram –ve | ||
CPZ | 10–50 | 25–100 | Bacteriostatic for Gm −ve, Bactericidal for Gm +ve |
Pr | 10–50 | 10–100 | Bacteriostatic |
Pz | 50–200 | 100–200 | Bacteriostatic |
Pc | 25–100 | 50–400 | Bacteriostatic |
Md | 10–100 | 25–200 | Bactericidal |
Fz | 10–100 | 10–100 | Bactericidal |
Tm | 10–100 | 10–100 | Bactericidal |
Tf | 10–100 | 25–200 | Bactericidal |
Tp | 2–50 | 2–100 | Bactericidal |
Tz | 32–64 | 100–800 | Bacteriostatic for Gm –ve, Bactericidal for Gm +ve |

Please note: The bactericidal effect can be reached with multiple of the MICs. CPZ, chlorpromazine; Pr, promazine; Pz, promethazine; Pc, prochlorperazine; Md, methdilazine; Fz, fluphenazine; Tm, trimeprazine; Tf, trifluoperazine; Tp, triflupromazine; Tz, thioridazine; Fp, flupenthixol.
