Why is it that some infections are no longer cured by penicillin?
Penicillin, an antibiotic, kills bacteria. It was the first antibiotic used, and has been around for a long time. As it has been used, the bacteria that it kills have become resistantto it. Part of this has been caused by not totally eradicating the bacteria in the body. The bacteria that survive demonstrate resistance, and continue to multiply -- only, the strain of bacteria that is left is now resistant to penicillin.All antibiotics are susceptible to this effect. That is why, when you are prescribed an antibiotic by a doctor, you will be instructed to take all the antibiotic medication, even if you feel you are well and think you no longer need it. The goal is to kill all the bacteria and prevent the creation of a resistant strain of it.

How do you use antibiotics?
You follow the instructions on your bottle - each antibiotic is designed to be taken differently for maximum effect.

What happens if you take antibiotics every other day?

The first rule of antibiotics is try not to use them, and the second rule is try not to use too many of them.

Unnecessary or over use of antibiotics may effect this nf.
