Antibiotic Anesthetic Techniques Antibiotics are medications that destroy or slow down the growth of bacteria. Doctors prescribe them to treat bacterial infections. They do this by killing bacteria and preventing them from multiplying. They include a range of powerful drugs used to treat diseases caused by bacteria. Antibiotics cannot treat viral infections, such as cold, flu, and most coughs. Fast facts on antibiotics Alexander Fleming discovered penicillin, the first natural antibiotic, in 1928. Antibiotics cannot fight viral infections. Fleming predicted the rise of antibiotic resistance. Antibiotics either kill or slow the growth of bacteria. Side effects can include diarrhea, an upset stomach, and nausea. How do antibiotics work? There are different types of antibiotics, which work in their unique way. However, the two main they work include: A bactericidal antibiotic, such as penicillin, kills the bacteria. These drugs usually interfere with either the formation of the bacterial cell wall or its cell contents A bacteriostatic stops bacteria from multiplying. It may take a few hours or days after taking the first dose before people feel better or their symptoms improve. Thank YOU
