Broad spectrum antibiotics do kill all bacteria. They are effective against gram- and gram + bacteria. They will even kill the normal "good" bacteria that your body has naturally inside of you, which may cause other infections later on. This kind of antibiotic is important in life threatening situations when identification if the bacteria can't be accomplished.
Narrow spectrum antibiotics can only kill a limited range of bacteria. You would need to know what kind of bacteria you are dealing with if you use this kind.
So, basicly not all antibiotics work to kill all bacteria only the broad spectrum ones, and these should be used with caution.
