Measles is the answer for your question because Tuberculosis, Tetanus and Cholera are caused by Bacterial infections. Measles are caused by Virus so antibiotics will show no effect in curing measles.
Here the explanation for why antibiotics shows less effect on virus is given below.
- Antibiotic is a drug that kill bacteria by rupturing the outer wall of the organism.
- Viruses too have protective walls called viral envelope but identical to their host cell’s membrane which make them a hard target for antibiotics.
- Virus pose a greater threat to immunity as it has the ability to hide within the host cells.
