Antibiotics are medicines that help stop infections caused by bacteria. They do this by killing the bacteria or by keeping them from copying themselves or reproducing. The word antibiotic means “against life.” Any drug that kills germs in your body is technically an antibiotic.

Antibiotics works against bacteria

Explanation:

  • Antibiotics is made up of two words that is anti means "against" and biotics means "bacteria or living organism".
  • Antibiotics are the class of medicine which have antimicrobial activities and works specifically on the bacteria.
  • Antibiotics were first discovered by Alexander Fleming and the antibiotic he discovered was Penicillin from the species of fungus Penicillium notatum.
  • Rest all are other classes of infectious agent.  Hence, antibiotic could not work on them due to mode of action which is specific for the bacterial strains.
