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

Real World Example

Imagine you're hosting a party, and unwanted guests start to overrun the event, causing chaos. Like a bouncer at a party who either removes disruptive guests or prevents them from coming in, an antibiotic works to control the situation inside your body by either killing bacteria and other microorganisms or slowing their growth. Just as a bouncer maintains the peace and ensures the party flows smoothly, an antibiotic ensures that your body functions properly by managing the population of harmful microorganisms.
