    Antibiotics are substances that slow or stop the growth of bacteria but not viruses. They are classified based on their spectrum of activity against bacteria, whether they are bacteriostatic and inhibit growth or bactericidal and kill bacteria, and their mode of action. Antibiotic resistance can develop through various mechanisms in bacteria.
