Antibiotics:

  1. Antibiotics are antimicrobial substances that are effective against microorganisms.
  2. Antibiotic drugs are widely utilized in the treatment and prevention of bacterial infections since they are the most common form of antibacterial agent.
  3. Bacteria may be killed or inhibited by these substances.
  4. Antiprotozoal action is seen in a small number of antibiotics.
  5. Treatments depend upon the type of infection.
  6. Ampicillin, for example, is recommended against drug-resistant bacterial types that induce bacterial gastroenteritis.
  7. Antibiotics, on the other hand, are useless against viruses, hence there is no particular therapy for viral gastroenteritis.
