Antibiotics are primarily produced by certain microorganisms, particularly bacteria and fungi. Notable examples include the genus Streptomyces, which are soil-dwelling bacteria that produce a wide range of antibiotics, and the fungus Penicillium, which produces penicillin. These microorganisms synthesize antibiotics as a means of competition, inhibiting the growth of nearby bacteria or fungi.
What else can I help you with?
What are the cells that make antibiotics?
Antibiotics are chemically synthesized compounds. They are not made by cells
What do antibiotics do to living cells?
Antibiotics are designed to kill cells, some are targeted on certain types of cells, some aren't.
Why ionophore antibiotics do not kill even your human cells but only bacterial ones?
Only microbes have ionophones, which are channels in their membranes. By blocking them using antibiotics, the cell will die as they can not bring ions in and out of their cells. Human cells don't have these and so are not affected by those antibiotics.
Why don't antibiotics kill your cells when you take them?
Usually, antibiotics don't kill your cells if the biotic isn't strong enough.
Do plant cells produce antibiotics?
YES!
Why doesn't antibiotics effect virus?
Antibiotics kill infectious cells, but viruses are non-living.
Do antibiotics work on eukaryotic cells, and if so, how do they affect them differently than prokaryotic cells?
Antibiotics do not work on eukaryotic cells because they target specific structures or processes unique to prokaryotic cells, such as cell wall synthesis or protein synthesis. Eukaryotic cells have different structures and processes, so antibiotics do not affect them in the same way.

How does antibiotics help bacterial infections?
Antibiotics either directly kill bacteria cells or inhibit bacteria cells from dividing, thus allowing the body to eliminate the infection.
Can cells live and reproduce in the presence of antibiotic?
Cells that are resistant to antibiotics can survive and reproduce in the presence of antibiotics. However, non-resistant cells are typically unable to survive and reproduce in the presence of antibiotics. This is why antibiotic resistance is a growing concern in the medical field.
Antibiotics make these medicines less effective?

Can antibiotics make you feel high?
No, antibiotics do not have psychoactive effects that can make you feel high.
