Is an antibiotic a disease causing agent?
No. An antibiotic is a medicine used to kill bacteria that cause infections in humans and other animals. As it is not alive, it is not considered a disease causing agent. But, if you are allergic to a particular antibiotic it can cause anything from a mild (e.g. itching) to a severe (e.g. anaphylaxis, which can cause a person to stop breathing) immune reaction. Another problem is when antibiotics are overly prescribed, used in too small of doses, or given for the wrong conditions. Then microbes adapt and become resistant to the antibiotics.
