A special group of chemical substances that are used to treat diseases caused by microbes are called antibiotics.

An antibiotic is a chemical compound that is toxic to other bacteria and is produced by a living thing, usually a bacterium. In a complex environment like soil, organisms undoubtedly use antibiotics to regulate the growth of competing microbes. Soil microorganisms frequently produce antibiotics.
