Solution:

Antibiotics with a broad spectrum of action are effective against both gram-positive and gram-negative bacteria.

Chloramphenicol, for example, is used to treat typhoid, dysentery, acute fever, pneumonia, and other infections.

Vancomycin, ofloxacin, ampicillin, and amoxicillin are some more antibiotics.
