Antibiotic is a drug produced by certain microbes. Antibiotics destroy other
microbes that damage human tissues. They are used to treat a wide variety of diseases,
including gonorrhea, tonsillitis, and tuberculosis.
Antibiotics are sometimes called “Wonder drugs” because they can cure
diseases such as meningitis, pneumonia, and scarlet fever. But, when the antibiotics are
overused or misused, these drugs make a person sensitive being attacked by a
superbug.
Antibiotics do not always distinguish between harmless and dangerous
microbes. If a drug destroys too many harmless microorganism, the pathogenic ones
(the dangerous microbes) will have a greater chance to multiply. This situation often
leads to the development of a new infection called suprainfection.
Extensive use of some antibiotics may damage organs and tissues. For example,
streptomycin, which is used to treat tuberculosis, has caused kidney damage and
deafness.
Resistance to antibiotics may be acquired by pathogenic microbes. The resistant
microbes transfer genetic material to non-resistant microbes and cause them to
become resistant. During antibiotic treatment, non-resistant microbes are destroyed,
but resistant types survive and multiply.
To avoid the side effect of antibiotics, you’d better not urge your doctor to
prescribe antibiotics. Keep in mind that antibiotics are only useful for bacterial
infections and have no effect on viruses, so they cannot be used for chicken pox,
measles, and other viral diseases.
