A special group of chemical substances that are used to treat diseases caused by microbes are called antibiotics.

An antibiotic is a chemical compound that is toxic to other bacteria and is produced by a living thing, usually a bacterium. In a complex environment like soil, organisms undoubtedly use antibiotics to regulate the growth of competing microbes. Soil microorganisms frequently produce antibiotics.

Bacteria and fungi are microorganisms that produce antibiotics that help prevent or treat disease. With the invention of penicillin in 1941, antibiotics gained widespread recognition. Since then, they have fundamentally changed how bacterial infections in humans and other animals are treated.
