The bacterial cell membrane can be targeted for killing it. Inhibition of the synthesis of the components of cell wall will not allow the bacteria to grow.
The genetic material of the bacteria- DNA can be targeted. When DNA is cleaved, or damaged, then the bacteria will die.
The cellular components of the bacteria may be targeted. If a organelle, or a component is responsible for production or transport of proteins, and it is targeted by anti-bacterial compound, then protein synthesis machinery of bacteria will stop working, and it will not be able to perform a number of functions, and eventually die.

During the late cretaceous, the bisti badlands were home to numerous animals including turtles, crocodiles, and even dinosaurs.

These animals were living in an environment with a warm climate that results in changing sea levels. These conditions create a lot of shallow inland seas allowing these animals to thrive. The Cretaceous period is the last period of the Mesozoic area where new groups of mammals, birds, and flowering plants appeared on Earth.
