Detailed explanation-1: -Some, such as penicillin, kill bacteria by destroying the bacterial cell wall. Others, such as tetracycline, interfere with the ability of bacteria cells to reproduce or make proteins or nutrients they need to survive.
Detailed explanation-2: -What are resistant bacteria? Each time you take an antibiotic, bacteria are killed. Sometimes, bacteria causing infections are already resistant to prescribed antibiotics. Bacteria may also become resistant during treatment of an infection.
Detailed explanation-3: -Antibiotics work by affecting things that bacterial cells have but human cells don’t. For example, human cells do not have cell walls, while many types of bacteria do. The antibiotic penicillin works by preventing a bacterium from building a cell wall.
Detailed explanation-4: -Indeed, modern antibiotics act either on processes that are unique to bacteria–such as the synthesis of cell walls or folic acid–or on bacterium-specific targets within processes that are common to both bacterium and human cells, including protein or DNA replication.
