Antibiotics, is a generalized answer, however there are different types of antibiotics.

There are Bacteriostatic Agents which answer your question in that they inhibit the growth of bacteria which is a microorganism

Then there are bactericidal agents (bacteriocide) and they kill bacteria which is a microorganism

Agents having the suffix -cidal kill organisms, agents having the suffix -static merely inhibit their growth and reproduction.
