Antibiotics are chemicals that inhibiting the growth of (other) harmful microorganisms by affecting their life processes. Microorganisms are also used in production of antibiotics. For example, penicillin is an antibiotic obtained from a fungus, Penicillium notatum. Streptomycin, tetracycline and erythromycin are some antibiotics obtained from fungi and bacteria.
Antibiotics are extremely effective in treatment of various microbial infections/diseases, like, tuberculosis, cholera, etc. However, antibiotics should be taken only on the advice of a qualified doctor and that too only in the prescribed dosage and for the prescribed duration. Not completing the prescribed course may make them infective when used in future. If they're take when not really required, they may kill some useful bacteria in body.
