Antibiotics are powerful medicines that fight bacterial infections. They either kill bacteria or stop them from reproducing, allowing the body's natural defenses to eliminate the pathogens. Used properly, antibiotics can save lives. But growing antibiotic resistance is curbing the effectiveness of these drugs.
Explanation:
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.
Many people go get an annual physical. Going only when you feel sick will not show your overall health and the changes in your body. It is not needed to go to the doctor's twice a year unless you are immunocompromised, once a year will suffice.
