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.

Saw your question and since I am an RN, thought I would go ahead and answer. I am assuming the question is asking: What is an ANTIBIOTIC, so that is what I will answer.

MRSA infections are resistant to an antibiotic called methicillin and also to many other types of antibiotics. Resistance means that the bacteria are not killed by the antibiotic. MRSA strains of bacteria are no more aggressive or infectious than other strains of S. aureus. However, infections are much more difficult to treat because many antibiotics do not work. Infections with MRSA can sometimes become more severe than they may otherwise have been if the cause of the MRSA infection is not diagnosed early and antibiotics that are not effective are given at first. In some cases, it can lead to serious health problems such as blood poisoning and infections of the lungs, bones or the heart valve. A small number of people die from the effects of MRSA
