Antibiotic is a general term for chemicals, natural or synthetic, biologics or other substances that either kill (cidal) or slow (static) the growth of bacteria. They are a subset of antimicrobials which include antibacterials, antivirals (which kill viruses), antifungals (which kill fungi), antiparasitics (which kill parasites), disinfectants (which kill microbes on inanimate objects), and antiseptics (which kill microbes superficially in living organisms).
Antibiotic, antiviral, and antifungal drugs treat infections, which occur when pathogenic microorganisms harm healthy human cells
