Antibiotics are one the most widely use class of medications around the world. It is used in treatment of specific type of microbes/bacteria and thus are specific to treatment. Antibiotics are not useful against viral infections such as sore throat, cold/cough infection. 

Antibiotics also have side-effects that range from mild to life-threatening such as liver disease, kidney diseases. Most commonly used and first antibiotic that was discovered is 'Penicillin'. Some of the generic and widely used antobiotcs are cephalexin, ciprofloxin, doxycycline. 

These antibiotics are extracted from either Bacteria or Fungi.
