Antibiotic also called an antibacterial, is a type of antimicrobial drug used in the treatment and prevention of bacterial infections. Antibiotics are also known as antibacterial or antimicrobials. They may either kill or inhibit the growth of bacteria. A limited number of antibiotics also possess antiprotozoal activity. Antibiotics are not effective against viruses such as the common cold or influenza; drugs which inhibit viruses are termed antiviral drugs or antivirals rather than antibiotics. Since the discovery of the antibiotic penicillin in 1920, various antibiotic compounds have been used to treat several bacterial infections.
