Bleach is not an antibiotic, but it can and does kill bacteria.
Antibiotics are drugs used to fight infections in humans and animals. The word for substances such as bleach that are used to kill bacteria outside of a living thing is an "antibacterial" substance, or antiseptic, or disinfectant. Bleach, even in dilute form, is a disinfectant for water, aqueous solutions, and on many environmental surfaces.
