What kind of infections do antibiotics fight?
Antibiotics fight bacterial infections, antibiotics do not fight all bacterial infections however, they generally fight one of two types of bacteria (gram negative and gram positive). Antibiotics have no effect on viral infections or parasites, but they are sometimes prescribed with a viral infection to prevent a bacterial superinfection - when you get a bacterial infection because your immune system was weakened by the viral infection first. Antibiotics have saved more lives than those lost in any war but overusing them or not finishing a course can lead to the evolution of resistant bacteria which can no longer be killed by antibiotics.

How would the treatment of viral and bacterial pneumonia differ?
The supportive treatment for the symptoms would be mostly the same, but the medications used to directly fight the two different types of lung infections are different. Bacterial infections, including bacterial pneumonia, are treated with antibiotics. Since antibiotics are not effective against viral infections, the right medicines for the viral type of pneumonia might include anti-viral medications but usually not antibiotics. In both types of infections there can be a superimposed infection of the other type. For example, it is not uncommon for those with serious viral infections of the lungs to also end up with an opportunistic bacterial infection (i.e., one that might not be able to make you sick if it weren't for your already infirm condition), like bronchitis or bacterial pneumonia. Therefore, monitoring to identify any such secondary infections is also part of the treatment of both kinds of pneumonia to be sure that necessary medications are being utilized.
Of the two types of that affect the spinal column and the fluid around it the bacterial type is often more serious.?
The two types of infections that affect the spinal column and the surrounding fluid are bacterial and viral. Bacterial infections, such as bacterial meningitis, are often more serious because they can lead to severe complications, including brain damage, septicemia, and even death if not treated promptly. In contrast, viral infections tend to be less severe and often resolve on their own without long-term consequences. Timely diagnosis and treatment are crucial for bacterial infections to prevent serious health outcomes.
Does flu start with TB?
No, there is no connection between the two infections. TB is caused by a bacterium called mycobacteria. The flu is caused by an influenza virus. Flu starts in healthy people when infected with the virus as well as those with underlying medical conditions, or other infections. People with bacterial infections and underlying medical conditions are at higher risk for catching viral infections like the flu, but that is not typically how the flu is started.
If swine flu is a virus why is it treated with an antibiotic?
H1N1 is a viral infection, that's true. However, chances of complications arrising can be lessened only if anti-viral medications are taken within the first two days after catching the virus. If complications develop, and there's a good chance they will, bacterial infections can result. That's when antibiotics are used.
