Antibiotic is a drug produced by certain microbes. Antibiotics destroy so many microbes that
damage human tissues. They are used to treat a wide variety of diseases, including gonorrhea,
tonsillitis, and tuberculosis.
Antibiotics are sometimes called “Wonder drugs” because they can cure diseases such as
meningitis, pneumonia, and scarlet fever. But, when the antibiotics are overused or misused, these
drugs make a person sensitive being attacked by a superbug.
Antibiotics do not always distinguish between harmless and dangerous microbes. If a drug
destroys too many harmless microorganism, the pathogenic ones (the dangerous microbes) will have a
greater chance to multiply. This situation often leads to the development of a new infection called
suprainfection.
Extensive use of some antibiotics may damage organs and tissues. For example, streptomycin,
which is used to treat tuberculosis, has caused kidney damage and deafness.
Resistance to antibiotics may be ecquired by pathogenic microbes. The resistant microbes
transfer genetic material to non-resistant microbes and cause them to become resistant. During
antibiotic treatment, non-resistant microbes are destroyed, but resistant types survive and multiply.
To avoid the side effect of antibiotics, you’d better not urge your doctor to prescribe antibiotics.
Keep in mind that antibiotics are only useful for bacterial infections and have no effect on viruses, so
they cannot be used for chicken pox, measles, and other viral diseases.
