The word "antibiotic" comes from the Greek anti which means "against" and bios meaning "life" (a bacterium is a life form). Antibiotics are efficient drugs taken to treat infections caused by bacteria. If taken as recommended, antibiotics can save lives. They either kill microbes completely or stop their reproduction. Your body's natural defenses can usually take it from there. The majority of antibiotics have 2 names, the brand name created by the pharmaceutical company that manufactures the drug, and a generic name dependent on chemical characteristics of antibiotics. Antibiotics do not kill off infections brought on by viruses, such as colds, flu, most coughs and bronchitis, sore throats unless brought on by streptococcus. A broad-spectrum antibiotic can be used to fight a great range of infections. A narrow-spectrum antibiotic is only efficient against several types of microbes. There are antibiotics that fight off aerobic bacteria, while others work against anaerobic microorganisms. Aerobic bacteria require oxygen, while anaerobic bacteria do not. Antibiotics may be precondition beforehand, to preclude an infection, especially prior to surgery. This is called 'preventive' use of antibiotics. They are usually used prior to bowel and orthopaedic operation. Antibiotics can bring on more harm than good, if they are not taken in properly. General use and misuse in the sick over time have jeopardized antibiotics' ability to combat microbes. Nowadays, nearly all bacteria are antibitocs-resistant, so that more recently invented antibiotics are sometimes needed to fight infections that were once easily treatable. Antibiotics can also cause complications, for instance diarrhea and vaginal yeast infections. If you are taking an antibiotic, keep to the instructions. Your dosage has been measured to fight off microbes throughout the course of the illness. So, if you do not destination, you may find yourself at the risk of leaving enough microorganisms in your body to resume the infection - even after you are feeling good. The leftover medicine will not be enough to combat the germs the next time, and it may even make them resistant.
