Antibiotics are medications used to treat infections caused by bacteria. They work by targeting specific bacterial processes or structures, such as cell wall synthesis, protein synthesis, or DNA replication, effectively killing bacteria or inhibiting their growth. However, antibiotics are ineffective against viral infections, such as the common cold or flu. Overuse or misuse of antibiotics can lead to antibiotic resistance, making infections harder to treat.
