Why are antibiotics used What type of infection are they most effective in treating?

You've partly answered this yourself. Antibiotics are used to treat infections. Specifically, they are for treating microbial (bacterial) infections. Antibiotics can be used to treat many types. Depending on the type or seriousness of infection, different antibiotics are used. For instance, a person with severe acne may be prescribed a topical gel with clindamycin but a person with a severe case of syphilis may be treated with a course of penicillin. However, antibiotics do not work on viruses, which is why they don't work on colds or flu. It's very important to follow a doctor's instructions when taking antibiotics, as microbes can become resistant to them if not treated correctly. Even if you are feeling better, you should continue taking the full course because if the bacteria is still present in tiny amounts, it could come back and then the antibiotics won't work. This is also why it's important to not take antibiotics unless they have been prescribed specifically for your infection.
