ANTIBIOTIC, IS IT GOOD?

Antibiotic is known as antibacterials is a medicine which is used for treatment of bacterial infection.
Modern antibiotic was discovered by Sir Alexander Fleming (1921-1928). He made and produced
antibiotic which contained lysozyme enzyme and penicillin from Penicillium notatum.

Antibiotic is used for many bacterial infection. It is allowed to kills and inhibits the activity of bacterials.
It also can distracts the growth of bacterials. it can kills many bacterials in wide spectrum, as known as
broad spectrum, it also can kills specific bacterial, as known as limited spectrum. Antibiotic is effective to
treats many bacterial infection such as TBC, Typhus, etc.

In another hand, our immune system can defeats the bacteria without antibiotic. Overusing antibiotic
can increased a risk factor for infection incident that cannot be healed by antibiotic. It happens because
the bacteria become resistance, so it is so difficult to be healed.

I see that many people overuse antibiotic. They use antibiotic but actually they don’t need it. Although
many diseases need the antibiotic for treatment, it doesn’t means that antibiotic can be used for all
cases. This behavior can make a damage even death for the host.

Based from those reasons, I think, the doctor and the other health workers should give some kind of
education for people about using antibiotic. Many people still don’t know about the impact of overusing
antibiotic for their body. For the pharmacist, patients may not be able to take the antibiotic easily.
