Question

Choose the correct statement from the following.

• A. Antibiotics can kill bacteria and virus that cause an infection.
• B. Many antibiotics are produced by bacteria.
• C. Antibiotics enhance immunity and strengthen pathogen-fighting ability.
• D. Antibiotics have no side effects.

Answer 1

The correct option is B

Many antibiotics are produced by bacteria.

Antibiotics are substances produced by some bacteria or fungi, or can even be produced synthetically. Antibiotics work against the pathogenic bacteria by disrupting the cell wall formation in them and thus, kill the bateria and stop their multiplying.
Antibiotics work only against bacteria and simply attack them. They are not responsible for the strengthening of immune system. They have multiple side effects like diarrhea, nausea, vomiting, rash, stomach upset, etc.
