What are Antibiotics?
The
word "antibiotics" comes from the
Greek anti ("against") and bios ("life").
Antibiotics are drugs that either destroy bacteria
or prevent their reproduction. Antibiotics that kill
bacteria are called "bactericidal" and
the ones that stop the growth of bacteria are called "bacteriostatic".
Bladder
infections are treated with antibacterial drugs,
and the choice of medication and the duration
of treatment depend upon the patient’s past
medical history and the results of the urine test,
which clearly identifies the problem-causing bacteria.
The sensitivity test is also useful in helping the
physician select the best drug for the condition.
UTI or urinary tract infections represent a problem
for the urinary system because the most important
organ of this system can be affected. Kidneys are
a pair of organs that help the body to get rid of
the excess liquids and wastes. It also helps in the
formation of the red blood cells.
Bacterial Vaginosis is the most common vaginal infection
of American women. Also known as Gardnerella-associated
Vaginitis or just Vaginitis, the condition results
from an overgrowth of bacteria in the vagina.
