A chemical that kills bacteria and other microorganisms, or slows their growth

Real World Example

Imagine trying to get rid of weeds in your garden to ensure your flowers thrive. Just like a weed killer targets and eliminates unwanted plants, an antibiotic targets and eliminates harmful bacteria and microorganisms. In this analogy, the weeds are like the bacteria causing you harm, the flowers are your body's health and well-being, and the weed killer is the antibiotic working to clear out the unwanted intruders so that the beneficial elements can flourish.
