What medicine can kill harmful bacteria?
That would be antibiotics. Antibiotics work with your immune system, reving it up, so it can kill batcerias in case of, per example, bronchitis or a strep in your throat. Topical antibiotics will also work on skin for cuts and such to prevent infection. However, you should not forget that antibiotics will also kill GOOD bacteria in your system, such as the ones in the digestive system and in a woman's vagina. There is a wide range of antibiotics that can be taken in pill form, and, as far as I am aware, they are only available through a prescription from your doctor. Some mild topical antibacterial cream are however available in pharmacies.AntibiotesIn 1928 Alexander Fleming found a medicine that can kill bacteria he got it from mould.Antibiotics.
Why should antibiotics medicines not be given until and unless prescribed by the doctors?

Is it dangerous to take antibiotics that you don't need?
Yes. Antibiotics should be taken only when prescribed by a physician to fight off infections your body cannot fight on its own. Three reasons for this: a) You may have a dangerous pre-existing allergy to certain antibiotics. b) It can weaken your immune system. If antibiotics fight off infection all the time, then your body won't produce its own natural antibodies. c) Constant use of antibiotics can create an allergy to the antibiotic, making it useless to you should you need it later. This is common with penicillin.
What chemical produced by some bacteria can limit the growth of other bacteria?
Antibiotics produced by some bacteria, such as penicillin or streptomycin, can limit the growth of other bacteria by disrupting their cell wall synthesis or protein production. These antibiotics can inhibit the growth or kill competing bacteria, giving the producing bacteria a competitive advantage in their environment.
How do antibiotics work?
Antibiotics act by damaging bacteria through inhibiting their ability to function such as blocking their ability to grow, make genetic material to reproduce with, or make enzymes necessary for their lives. First it depends on the area infected by the bacteria. Once that is settled apply antibiotics on the infected area and patience is key so wait a while and you should feel better soon hope i could help. Each antibiotic, on a general sense, act on a different manner, but essentially by inhibiting some biological function of a determined bacteria that the antibiotic is fighting against.
What type of antibiotics are taken for Lyme Disease in humans?
Antibiotics are not taken by the patients. They are prescribed by the physician.
Why would not taking the entire course of antibiotics be counter productive in the treatments of any infection?
When antibiotics are incorrectly used and are not taken for the full term prescribed, usually from 5 to 21 days, depending on the specific antibiotic and disease, surviving bacteria develops immunity to the antibiotic.
What is meant by cross resistance in bacteria against two different antibiotics?
when two different antibiotics are taken simultaneously againt multi bacterial infections cross resistance in the bacteria results
Why antibiotics should not be overused give you short report PLEASE...?
antibiotics should not be over used because antibiotics taken unnecessarily may kill the beneficial bacteria in the body.
What is cross resistance in bacteria for two different antibiotics?
"Bacterial cross-resistance happens when the two antibiotics that are being taken have very similar actions"
I need to know what antibiotics should be taken for teeth pain. I know different antibiotics work for different parts of the body.?
Antibiotics are sometimes prescribed for tooth infections, but not for pain. The infecting bacteria will dictate the antibiotic to employ -- so one can't know until one cultures the infection. Antibiotics of choice for prophylacsis vary from one part of the world to another, so without a locale, this can't be answered either.

Does yogurt weaken the effectiveness of antibiotics?
Some antibiotics should be taken on an empty stomach to be effective (a certain time before food) Others should be taken with or after food. Your doctor or chemist will advise you how to take your prescribed antibiotic or you can look at the instructions on the leaflet that comes in the box with the antibiotics and you should follow this advice. Treat yogurt as just another food when following these instructions, there is nothing special about yogurt in this regard. However, sometimes it helps to eat live yogurt as part of your food while taking antibiotics and afterwards because the antibiotics can kill off friendly bacteria that normally live in your intestines and some people believe that the bacteria that cause milk to turn into yogurt can help to repopulate your intestinal bacterial flora.
When will you feel better after taking amoxicillin?
Antibiotics should be taken as prescribed by your physician. Amoxicillin is generally taken 2 or 3 times a day for about a week. You should finish the prescribed course of medications even if the symptoms begin to alleviate. The problem with irregular dosing is that if you kill most of the bacteria except for a few hardy ones, then you could begin to build up resistance to the medication. Then if you pass on these hardy (drug resistant) bugs to someone else, they can be much more difficult to kill in the future. As far as repeating the dosage. It probably won't cause you any harm. But, you might have "bred" some bugs that are resistant to amoxicillin thus decreasing its effectiveness. Also, keep in mind that antibiotics such as amoxicillin can cause side effects such as diarrhea or secondary yeast infections, which is another reason only to take them with consultation of a physician.
