Answers
Explanation:
a medicine (such as penicillin or its derivatives) that inhibits the growth of or destroys microorganisms.
Explanation:
Antibiotics are medicines that treat infections by killing bacteria. They don't work on viruses, like the flu.
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.
Penicillin is an effective drug to combat bacterial infections because it targets bacteria-specific proteins and has no effect on human proteins. When a bacterium divides, penicillin prevents it from reforming a new cell wall, and the two daughter cells “pop”.
