Here you will learn about various aspects of antibiotics
such as how they work, what they are used for, their development over the years, as well as the resistance of antibiotics.
Antibiotics are defined as drugs that are
able to fight infections.
An antibiotic is any substance that interferes with the
ability of bacteria to function normally. Since bacteria are living organisms antibiotics are able to kill or stop the
growth of bacteria.
Antibiotics are used to battle bacterial infections that
can range from life threatening meningitis to less fatal infections which can include such things as acne and strep throat.
Antibiotics cannot be used to fight viruses such as the flu or colds because viruses are not alive.
