Answer 1

Answer:

Antibiotics are a group of medicines that are used to treat infections caused by some germs (bacteria and certain parasites). They do not work against infections that are caused by viruses - for example, the common cold or flu.

Antibiotics are normally only prescribed for more serious bacterial infections, as many infections get better on their own. Correct use of antibiotics is absolutely essential to help reduce antibiotic resistance. Germs become resistant to antibiotics over time, which then makes them less effective.

The World Health Organization (WHO) says "the world urgently needs to change the way it prescribes and uses antibiotics" as antibiotic resistance is a major global threat.Antibiotics are a group of medicines that are used to treat infections. Antibiotics are sometimes called antibacterials or antimicrobials. Antibiotics can be taken by mouth as liquids, tablets, or capsules, or they can be given by injection. Usually, people who need to have an antibiotic by injection are in hospital because they have a severe infection. Antibiotics are also available as creams, ointments, or lotions to apply to the skin to treat certain skin infections.There are various antibiotics available and they come in various different brand names. Antibiotics are usually grouped together based on how they work. Each type of antibiotic only works against certain types of bacteria or parasites. This is why different antibiotics are used to treat different types of infection. The main types of antibiotics include:

Penicillins - for example, phenoxymethylpenicillin, flucloxacillin and amoxicillin.

Cephalosporins - for example, cefaclor, cefadroxil and cefalexin.

Tetracyclines - for example, tetracycline, doxycycline and lymecycline.

Aminoglycosides - for example, gentamicin and tobramycin.

Macrolides - for example, erythromycin, azithromycin and clarithromycin.

Clindamycin.

Sulfonamides and trimethoprim - for example, co-trimoxazole.

Metronidazole and tinidazole.

Quinolones - for example, ciprofloxacin, levofloxacin and norflox
