Quizplus · Accepted Answer

Narrow-spectrum drugs are antimicrobial agents that are effective against a limited range of bacterial types. Antimicrobics effective against only gram-positive bacteria would be considered narrow-spectrum drugs, as they target a specific group of bacteria. Antibiotics are a type of antimicrobic, but this term is not specific enough to answer the question. Semisynthetic and synthetic drugs refer to how the drugs were created, while broad-spectrum drugs are effective against a wide range of bacteria, including both gram-positive and gram-negative types.
