In this episode, we will be discussing antibiotics.

Antibiotics are medications specifically designed to treat bacterial infections by disrupting bacterial cell functions, such as cell wall synthesis, thus preventing their multiplication.

It is crucial to understand that antibiotics are ineffective against viral infections because viruses possess a different structure and replicate within host cells, unlike bacteria.

Due to their targeted nature, doctors prescribe specific antibiotics to combat particular bacterial diseases. The introduction of these drugs has had a profound impact, significantly decreasing mortality rates associated with infectious bacterial illnesses.

Therefore, antibiotics are essential for managing bacterial infections, but medical professionals should guide their use for appropriate treatment.
