They are termed broad-spectrum antibiotics.

<h3>What are antibiotics?</h3>

Antibiotics are drugs that have the capacity to either inhibit the growth of or kill bacteria and some other microorganisms capable of causing diseases.

Antibiotics are of 2 types:

  1. Narrow spectrum antibiotics
  2. Broad spectrum antibiotics

Narrow spectrum antibiotics are effective against a very narrow range of bacteria. They are very specific in their targets.

Broad spectrum antibiotics, on the other hand, are effective against a broad range of bacteria. They can be referred to as multipurpose antibiotics. They do not only eliminate target pathogenic bacteria.

Ymorist [56]

Answer:

A

Explanation:

The dead matter from organisms such as plants and animals that die need to be recycled so the nutrients in the matter are released and used up by other organisms. This is how sustainability is achieved in ecosystems through a cyclical nature of nutrients flow. Decomposition of the dead matter is done by decomposers such as fungi and bacteria. Without them, the dead matter would accumulate while the soil would lack nutrients for plants to grow and for other bacteria to utilize for energy. This would affect the rest of the food chain/web causing the ecosystem to collapse.
