    Antibiotics are chemicals produced by microorganisms or synthesized that kill or inhibit the growth of microorganisms at low concentrations without significantly harming the host. Antimicrobials are chemicals that kill or inhibit microorganisms. Antimicrobials are classified based on their mechanism of action such as inhibiting cell wall synthesis, altering nucleic acid metabolism, inhibiting protein synthesis, inhibiting folate metabolism, or having miscellaneous mechanisms. They have different spectrums of activity against microorganisms.
