If you incubate seeds with antibiotics (e.g. streptomycin or spectromycin) you can kill off the chloroplasts and get either variegated or albino plants as a result (the albinos will die unless supplemented with certain food, and grown in vitro). So, anti-bacterials can still kill them!

Thankfully, they do not appear to target mitochondria, also. Otherwise we would sure be in trouble.
