Bacteria Become Immune to Antibiotics

You realize that most of the bacteria that enter the bodies are
useful or harmless, while a few others can give rise to diseases. The
only way of getting rid of disease-causing bacteria that the immune
system can't defeat is by the use of antibiotics. Some of the antibiot-
ics administered in various ways kill bacteria, while others impede
their development and reproduction. For example, some antibiotics

target the bacterium's cell membrane, preventing it from forming a
sheath to protect it from external influences. Fluid thus accumulates
in the cell, which eventually bursts and is neutralized.
Having done its job, an antibiotic leaves to the body's immune HARUN YAHYA
system the business of clearing away the dead bacteria. For exam-

antibiotics prevent the bacterium forming a sheath that will protect
it from external influences. Fluid thus accumulates in the cell, (ADNAN OKTAR)
which eventually bursts and is neutralized.
