A drug may be classified by the chemical type of the active ingredient or by the way it is used to treat a particular condition. Each drug can be classified into one or more drug classes.
Antibiotics are drugs that can either kill an infectious bacteria or inhibit its growth. Different antibiotics work by different mechanisms and are used to treat infections caused by bacteria that are sensitive to that particular antibiotic.
