Antibiotics are compounds both natural and synthetic, which function to press or stop a process of
organism’s growth, particularly bacteria. Antibiotics are used to treat bacterial infections and used as
a tool for genetic engineering in biotechnology. Antibiotics work as pesticides by pressing or
breaking the chain of bacteria’s metabolism. Nevertheless, antibiotics are different from
disinfectants in the process of killing bacteria. Disinfectant kills bacteria by creating an unnatural
environment for germs to live.

In terms of treatment, antibiotics are dubbed as “magic bullet “because antibiotics kill instantly
without injuring its sufferers. Although antibiotics are good for medication, it is not effective in
handling infection caused by viruses, fungi, or other nonbacterial.

Antibiotics have diverse types based on their effectiveness against bacteria. There are antibiotics
that target gram- negative or gram- positive bacteria and some antibiotics have a wider spectrum.
The effectiveness depends on location of the infection and the ability of antibiotics to reach the
location of the infection. Based on how to use, antibiotics are divided into two that are oral
antibiotics and antibiotic intradermal. An oral antibiotic is used by mouth while antibiotic
intradermal is used through anus. Intradermal antibiotics are used for serious cases.
