In addition, chloramphenicol can be bactericidal (destroys bacteria) when in high concentrations, or when used against highly sensitive microorganisms, such as <em>Haemophilus influenzae</em> and <em>Streptococcus pneumoniae</em>. The mechanism of action for these bacteria, however, is not yet elucidated.
