Antibiotics are the medications that are used to cure the infections caused by the bacteria. Antibiotics are the substances that are derived from the micro organisms that are used to kill the other microorganisms. So, this way Antibiotics are used to kill the infection causing microorganisms. Due to the antagonistic nature of the some bacteria the antibiotics were discovered. Louis Pasteur discovered the use of microorganisms to destroy microorganisms first time in 1889 and called the process as antibiosis.Antibiotics are basically divided into 2 types one are bacteriostatic and bactericidal.Bacteriostatic antibiotics inhibit the growth of the bacteria by interfering with the bacterial protein production and DNA replication of the bacteria. The multiplication of the bacterial colonies is completely stopped by these antibiotics. Bacteriostatic antiobiotics are generally given as the preliminary treatment against the bacterial infections.

After this, bactericidal antibiotic plays its role. The bactericidal antibiotics are used to kill the bacteria. If the infections are not severe then first bacteriostatic antibiotics are used and then bactericidal. But, if the infections are severe then directly the bactericidal antibiotics are used.
Every antibiotic works for the different bacterial infections. So, I would like to advice to all the readers that don’t use antibiotics on your own. It is necessary to consult the doctor before you use the antibiotics. It is only after the laboratory tests that doctor is able to suggest the antibiotic for the particular infection. Also, if you are taking the antibiotic then please take it as per the doctor’s recommendation. Please don’t increase or decrease the dosage of antibiotic on your own. Don’t miss the dosage of antibiotic as it may allow the infecting microorganisms to grow again with a resistant power to that antibiotic. But, one thing is sure that you will get the guaranteed relief from the infections with the intake of the antibiotics.
