People get sick from many different types of organisms. Anitbiotics provide effective treatments for most bacterial infections. However, we may get sick from parasites, viruses and/or fungi. Antibiotics won't necessarily be effective at curing these other types of infections.

Of course all of this is presumed with the understanding of taking the antibiotic as recommended, and taking it all.
