Answer:
Antibiotics are the drugs that are used to cure diseases
caused by bacteria. There are different kinds of antibiotics which attack
different processes and structures in bacteria to kill them or to stop their
growth.
First type of antibiotic stops the production of a
compound needed for the growth of the cell wall of bacteria. This prevents the
cell wall from expanding when the other parts of the cell are growing. As a
result, the ceil bursts, which kills the bacteria, Penicillin, an important antibiotic,
works in this way for streptococcal infections.
Other types of antibiotics work by interfering in other
processes such as the production of proteins, e.g., streptomycin for
tuberculosis.
