ANTIBIOTICSThe Hitmen of the

bacterial world

They slow down & kill bacteria

The first antibiotic made was

penicillin, some others are ampicillin,

amoxicillin & benzyl penicillin

There is a world wide

concern that antibiotics are

being over used

Antibiotics cannot

distinguish between the good and the bad bacteria

A bacteria with a mutation could survive the

antibiotic and produce millions more

Resistant bacteria like it

The dosage of an antibiotic is very important because if not right the bacteria is more likely to become resistant to it, and in the case of over use it may result in cancer

Each antibiotic affects different bacteria in different ways

Antibiotics are specific poisons that kill desired bacteria, and not the cells in your body

Antibiotics work in two ways, by killing or by blocking the

bacteria's function

Antibiotics are derived from bacteria's like fungi and mold
