Antibiotics are a special medicine that kills or inhibits the growth of pathogenic bacteria. They are used to treat bacterial infections by targeting specific bacterial processes or structures, allowing the immune system to eliminate the infection. Antibiotics do not work against viral infections and are not the same as molecules produced by white blood cells, which are part of the immune response.
