Category: Antibiotics

Antibiotics are a class of drugs that are used to treat bacterial infections. They work by either killing bacteria or preventing their growth, allowing the body’s immune system to fight off the infection. There are many different types of antibiotics, each with its own mechanism of action and spectrum of activity. Some antibiotics are broad-spectrum, meaning they can treat a wide range of bacterial infections, while others are narrow-spectrum and are only effective against specific types of bacteria.
