Importance of Antibiotics

Mark Jack

Antibiotics are antimicrobial substances that work against bacteria. Antibiotic medications are commonly used in the treatment and prevention of bacterial infections since they are the most common form of antibacterial agent. Bacteria can be killed or inhibited by these substances. Antiprotozoal activity is found in a small number of antibiotics. [three] Antibiotics are ineffective against viruses such as the common cold or influenza; antiviral drugs or antivirals, rather than antibiotics, are drugs that inhibit viruses.
