Can antibiotics cause uti?
Urinary Tract Infections (UTIs) are caused by bacteria. Antibiotics kill bacterial infections, not cause them. Antibiotics are used to treat UTIs, and in no way can cause them, since they kill bacteria that cause the infection to begin with.
Are bacteria killed by freezing?
Freezing can slow down the growth of bacteria but may not always kill them. Some bacteria can survive freezing temperatures and become active again when thawed. To effectively kill bacteria, it is recommended to either use high heat (e.g. cooking) or certain chemicals (e.g. sanitizers).
Can the bacteria in urine be killed and processes halted by mixing with drinking alcohol?
70% ethanol has been found to be most effective in killing microbes. Higher or lower concentrations are not so effective in killing them. But drinking and hoping that the alcohol will kill the bacteria in urine isn't going to work. It has a long way to go.
Can bacteria preserve canned foods?

Why can antibiotics treat flu-like symptoms caused by bacteria but are ineffective against flu?
Because the way antibiotics treat those symptoms is by killing the bacteria that cause them. If the symptoms are caused by viruses, then antibiotics can't help since they are not made to be able to "kill" viruses, just bacteria. Flu viruses are not really living organisms like bacteria are. So viruses must be inactivated rather than killed. Antibiotics can neither kill nor inactivate viruses. They are created to be used to kill only specific bacteria, they do not kill every kind of bacteria, either. That is why there are so many different kinds of antibiotics. Antibiotics can treat flu-like symptoms caused by some bacteria, because the right antibiotics can kill bacteria. So although flu like symptoms are similar to those of the flu, they are caused by different microbes so are not cured in the same way.
