Question

Difference between antibiotics, antifungals and antivirals. Give examples

Answer 1

Antibiotics and antibacterials are used as synonyms against chemical agents used for getting rid (kill or inhibit) of bacteria.

Whereas, antimicrobial is very broad term which I prefer to use. 

The word antibiotic does not sound good- "against life"

To be specific:

1. Antibiotic:  An antibiotic is an agent that either kills or inhibits the growth of a microorganism

2. Antibacterial: Anything that destroys bacteria or suppresses their growth or their ability to reproduce.
