We often come along various treatments and at same time we keep on listening to this very Terminology known as "ANTI BIOTIC". It becomes a very familiar to us ,that whenever there is an infection we tend to have anti biotic.
But hey Guess what !! Do you even have a glimpse of an idea what exactly is this anti biotic ?
Well most of us end with a conclusion that it kills infection inside or anything that makes us to our mind.
When i first read about anti biotics i came across this astonishing term "Selective poison". Yes indeed its a poison used to kill the bacteria inside us when our immune system fails to cope with it.
An antibiotic is a selective poison. It has been chosen so that it will kill the desired bacteria, but not the cells in your body.
WTF is this anti biotic..........???
Click on the link to know more what exactly it is or else read on..........
Antibiotics work to kill bacteria. Bacteria are single-cell organisms. If bacteria make it past our immune systems and start reproducing inside our bodies, they cause disease. We want to kill the bacteria to eliminate the disease.
Certain bacteria produce chemicals that damage or disable parts of our bodies. In an ear infection, for example, bacteria have gotten into the inner ear. The body is working to fight the bacteria, but the immune system's natural processes produce inflammation. Inflammation in your ear is painful. So you take an antibiotic to kill the bacteria and eliminate the inflammation.
An antibiotic is a selective poison. It has been chosen so that it will kill the desired bacteria, but not the cells in your body. Each different type of antibiotic affects different bacteria in different ways. For example, an antibiotic might inhibit a bacterium's ability to turn glucose into energy, or its ability to construct its cell wall. When this happens, the bacterium dies instead of reproducing. At the same time, the antibiotic acts only on the bacterium's cell-wall-building mechanism, not on a normal cell's.
Antibiotics do not work on viruses because viruses are not alive. A bacterium is a living, reproducing lifeform. A virus is just a piece of DNA (or RNA). A virus injects its DNA into a living cell and has that cell reproduce more of the viral DNA. With a virus there is nothing to "kill," so antibiotics don't work on it.
Well that`s how it is and let me tell you that whenever i keep on reading such articles i will keep you all updated. may be i may not know these facts and you already know it, but hey it keeps excited.....!!!!
