antibacterials: treat bacterial infections. Bacterial’s are grouped into many subclasses, such as aminoglycosides, Cephalosporins, fluoroquinolones, macrolides, penicillin, sulfonamides, and tetracycline based on chemical structure, method of action, and the type of bacteria they are affective against
