Well, antibiotics can defend against bacteria some parasites and some fungi. They can't immunise your body against viruses because they evolve too quickly. That's why there is no antibiotics for the common cold. Also, if you use too many antibiotics, the cells you are trying to defend against will effectively get used to the antibiotics and will find a way to defeat them. The antibiotics will be useless.

Why do researchers need to constantly develop new types of antibiotics?
Because people (including doctors) keep using antibiotics for inappropriate purposes, including treatment of the common cold, which is a virus. Viruses are not affected by antibiotics. Constant exposure to antibiotics in the environment has resulted in mutations of bacteria so that they are antibiotic resistant. Thus, it is necessary to continue to develop new antibiotics to deal with these new super-bacteria. It should be said that the drug companies themselves are largely responsible for this, as they constantly lobby to allow antibiotics to be used unnecessarily, such as in treatment of poultry and other animals that are to be slaughtered for meat. This saves money, but it also releases huge amounts of drugs into the environment. (See above for results) The pharmaceutical giants thus get richer in two ways: selling the old drugs and developing and marketing new ones.
What if you were treated for something else and had antibiotics could you find out if you had chlamydia?
No; you must be tested to confirm that you have chlamydia. It's possible that the other antibiotics cleared chlamydia, even though you didn't take them for that purpose. Ask your health care provider for advice based on the antibiotics you took.
