    medications that kill or inhibit bacterial growth

    Antibiotics, also known as antibacterials, are medications designed to treat bacterial infections by either killing bacteria or inhibiting their growth. They are crucial in modern medicine for managing infections that could otherwise be life-threatening, but their misuse can lead to antibiotic resistance, making some bacteria immune to these treatments.
