This is a very general question to which I cannot give a useful answer other than to say that "antibiotics" are the class of medications that are used to kill bacterial infections.

Not all bacteria are bad. The human digestive system makes extensive use of "good" bacteria to digest food, and imbalance in this bacterial system can cause stomach upset and digestive problems. "Good" bacterial flora are "probiotics", and include the live acidophilus culture in yogurt.

How do you stop bacteria from multiplying?

Common bleach will kill bacteria. Not only does it whiten things, but it is also a 'Bacteriocide'. It is the chlorine in bleach that does the job. That clean sharp smell you have with bleach are a few molecules of chlorine gas being liberated. Chlorine gas is poisonous, so to contain it, it is sold as bleach.
