Answer:

Antimicrobials are classified as selective and non-selective, selective are antibiotics, non-selective are surface disinfectants that are not used in human organisms such as antibiotics.

Step-by-step explanation:

That is why antibiotics are considered more effective to inhibit the growth of bacteria, since the special antibiotic that covers a certain spectrum of bacteria is selected, that is what gives them specificity and greater effectiveness, some are bacteriocidal and others bacteriostatic, considering the former as those that generate the defined death of the bacteria, and assures us more of bacterial death or inhibition of proliferation.
