Detailed explanation-1: -Antibiotics work by blocking vital processes in bacteria. They kill the bacteria or stop it from spreading. This helps the body’s natural immune system to fight the infection.
Detailed explanation-2: -There are also many types of antibiotics. 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-3: -Antibiotics treat bacterial infections either by killing bacteria or slowing and suspending its growth. They do this by: attacking the wall or coating surrounding bacteria. interfering with bacteria reproduction.
Detailed explanation-4: -A bactericidal antibiotic, such as penicillin, kills the bacteria. These drugs usually interfere with either the formation of the bacterial cell wall or its cell contents. A bacteriostatic stops bacteria from multiplying.
Detailed explanation-5: -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 keeping a bacterium from building a cell wall.
