No, antibiotics are produced to fight against pathogenic bacteria, Vaccines use dead bacteria to stimulate the immune system to fight against and/or to prevent many diseases. Antibiotics are developed using synthetic basis, or from fungus, like penicilin for example.

What bacteria can not cause foodborne illness?
It would be easier to list bacteria that are known to cause foodborne illness, since there are many many more that don't. But here are a few:non-pathogenic E. coliAcetobacterLactobacillus
What is the difference between pathogenic and spoilage bacteria?
pathogens - micro organisms that cause disease. all viruses are pathogenic but only some are pathogenic to man. certain bacteria cause disease in man. spoilage organisms - micro organisms that do not cause disease but they do spoil food by growing in the food and producing substances which alter the colour, texture, and odour of the food E.G = souring of milk , mould on breads and rotting of fruits and veg
What does not contribute to the ability of pathogenic bacteria to cause disease?
capsules
How would you describe a bacteria that is pathogenic?
This is bacteria that causes disease to all living objects.It means that the bacteria are able to produce enterotoxins.Bacteria that cause disease.Bubonic plague.
How can bacteria be both pathogenic and non pathogenic?
No. Almost all bacteria are not. There are bacteria everywhere performing essential functions like breaking down dead animals and plants. Bacteria are essential to health helping digest food and preventing pathogenic bacteria from getting out of control.
What is the difference between pathogenic bacteria and non pathogenic bacteria?
"Pathogen" is something that gives rise to disease or infection. There are bacteria that do not do these things though, such as the culture in yogurt or the E.coli already residing in your stomach.
What is in bacteria?
Pathogenic bacteria are bacteria that cause human illness. Of all species of bacteria in the world, only a small percentage actually cause human disease.
What bacteria can not cause foodborne illness?
It would be easier to list bacteria that are known to cause foodborne illness, since there are many many more that don't. But here are a few:non-pathogenic E. coliAcetobacterLactobacillus
What is an illness caused by living pathogenic organisms such as bacteria and viruses?
Infectious disease

Is strep throat caused by pathogenic bacterium?

The disease causing bacteria are called pathogenic bacteria.They are generally gram negative but can also be gram positivee.g. of pathogenic bacteria are :SalmonelllaPseudomonasClostridiumAnthracis etc.
What does not contribute to the ability of pathogenic bacteria to cause disease?
