Antibiotics are substances that kill or inhibit the growth of bacteria and similar microorganisms. Antibiotics are often prescribed by doctors to treat bacterial infections. As they work against all bacteria in the body, antibiotics destroy good bacteria in the system as well as bad.

Antibiotics are drugs that are used to treat infections caused by bacteria and other organisms, including protozoa, parasites, and fungi.

A chemical substance that kills or inhibits the growth of microorganisms. In cosmetics it is only used to treat acne.

Drugs that fight infections. (12 Dec 1998)

Antibiotics whose structure contains amino sugars attached to an aminocyclitol ring (hexose nucleus) by glycosidic bonds. Aminoglycoside antibiotics are derived from various species of streptomyces and micromonospora or are produced synthetically. They act by inhibiting protein synthesis. (12 Dec 1998)

Antibiotics which have a tetrahydronaphthacenedione ring structure attached by a glycosidic linkage to a sugar molecule. These antibiotics have potent antineoplastic activity. The two best known members of this group are daunorubicin and doxorubicin. Since these agents intercalate with DNA, many DNA functions are adversely affected. Futhermore they [..]

Chemical substances, produced by microorganisms, inhibiting or preventing the development of neoplasms. (12 Dec 1998)

Substances obtained from various species of microorganisms that are, alone or in combination with other agents, of use in treating various forms of tuberculosis; most of these agents are merely bacteriostatic, induce resistance in the organisms, and may be toxic. (12 Dec 1998)

Combination of antibiotics used against difficult-to-treat infections. Antibiotic combinations have been used mainly to broaden the antibacterial spectrum and prevent development of resistance. In some instances these combinations have shown lower toxicity, but drug antagonism may be one of the problems encountered by their use. They may be given s [..]

Antibiotics whose structure contains one or more cyclic peptides to which are attached one or more deoxy sugars in glycosidic linkage. They are generally effective against gram-positive bacteria and act by inhibiting peptidoglycan synthesis in bacterial cell walls. (12 Dec 1998)

This configuration includes bacteriostatic, cell-wall inhibiting antibiotics, such as penicillins and cephalosporins; their analogs and derivatives, such as the penem (or penam) compounds; clavulanic acids; and monobactams. They are substrates for and may act as inhi [..]

A group of antibiotics containing a macrocyclic lactone ring linked glycosidically to one or more sugar moieties. These antibiotics are produced by certain species of streptomyces. They often inhibit protein synthesis by binding to the 50s subunits of 70s ribosomes. (12 Dec 1998)
