      Yes, they are called antibiotics. The problem is that over time (and if we don’t use the drugs properly), the bacteria become resistant, so we need to find new drugs.

      Agree with Francis. Therefore are many different types of antibiotics which can kill bacteria in different ways, but if they are overused the bacteria can recome resistant to them.
