Question

limited spectrum antibiotics

Answer 1

bactericidal antibiotics,bacteriostatic antibiotics stop bacteria from growing. This word is also easy to remember: the suffix 'static' means staying stable. The bacteria don't die, but they can't grow or replicate either.

Narrow-spectrum antibiotics are only effective against a narrow range of bacteria. For example, penicillin G is very effective at killing gram-positive bacteria, but not very effective against gram-negative bacteria.
