Antibiotics are prescription drugs that treat bacterial infections. However, bacteria can become resistant to antibiotics, especially if they are not taken appropriately, leading to the necessary development of additional antibiotics.

Antibiotics are drugs that kill bacteria. They are effective against bacteria only and have no effect on viruses. Therefore, antibiotics will not cure the common cold, flu, or any other viral illness. Unless you have a bacterial infection, it's best to avoid the possible adverse effects of antibiotics, which may include:Side effects, including allergic reactions.
Antibiotic resistance is when antibiotics no longer work against bacteria. Help prevent antibiotic resistance by learning to identify when antibiotics can help you and your family members.
Testing the susceptibility of
Staphylococcus aureus to antibiotics by the
Kirby-Bauer disk diffusion method – antibiotics diffuse from antibiotic-containing disks and inhibit growth of
S. aureus, resulting in a zone of inhibition.
