What is an antibiotic? Give two examples
Answers (1)
Antibiotics are the medicines which prevents/destroys the growth of micro-organisms such as bacteria or fungi. These medicines obstruct the pathways of the microbes carrying infection without affecting our mechanisms. If we consider a disease from bacteria these medicines block the bacteria from forming a cell wall. As there is no cell wall of a bacteria, it is unable to divide which leads to their termination. This functionality is provided by the antibiotics without affecting the cells of host’s body.
Two examples of antibiotics:
- Amoxicillin
- Ciprofloxacin
