Viral diseases (disases caused by viruses), because antibiotics attack the cell wall, and a virus doesnt have a cell wall.
P.S. Antibiotics can only cure bacterial diseases (diseases caused by bacteria.
P.S.S. Viruses arent living things.
P.S.S.S. What does P.S., P.S.S., etc. stand for?
Antibiotics cannot treat a viral infection. An infection caused by a virus. A viral infection includes the common cold, the flu, viral meningitis and most sore throats.
Doctors will prescribe an antibiotic for some people with the flu though to keep them from getting a secondary infection like pneumonia, like bacterial pneumonia.
The over prescribing of antibiotics and the use of so much antibiotics in our food supply has hurt our health and caused antibiotics resistant "super bugs" to form.
Antibiotics are substances that destroy bacteria. They are therefore effective only against diseases caused by bacterial infections. These diseases are not limited to but include:
Other diseases are caused by:
Genetic errors at birth - eg Spina bifida
Genetic errors that happen after birth - eg some cancers
Exposure to toxic chemicals - eg Dioxin poisoning, Asbestosis
Exposure to ionising radiation - eg sunburn, skin cancer, radiation sickness
Autoimmune diseases - eg eczema
Viral infections - eg. Herpes, the common cold, Flue, HIV/Aids, Measles, warts etc.
Non of theses can be treated with antibiotics and use of antibiotics for these conditions is actually harmful in the long term as it enables bacteria to become resistant to antibiotics.
Three viral STDs that can't be cured are:
Hepatitis: B, C, & D are cureless; B is preventable with a vaccine
HIV / AIDS: cureless STD, viral infection of the immune system (no cure for this STD)
HPV / Warts: cureless STD, viral infection of the skin in the genital area
Two bacterial STDs are almost cureless since they are so resistant to antibiotics: Gonorrhea and Chlamydia
A viral infection cannot be treated with antibiotics. This is because antibiotics are only effective against bacteria - viruses are very different and do not respond to the drugs at all.
Antibiotics only work on bacterial infections and do nothing against viral
Viral infections, cannot be cured with antibiotics I believe.
Any pathogen that is a virus or a prion cannot be cured by antibiotics.
Those that have become antibiotic resistant and those caused by viral agents,
Bacteria
Antibiotics are the treatment of choice for acute otitis media (AOM). Different antibiotics are used depending on the type of bacteria most likely to be causing the infection.
Some of the patients have viral infection as a cause of tonsillitis. Such patients should be treated without antibiotics. The one with streptococcal infection need therapy with tablet penicillin V.
You've partly answered this yourself. Antibiotics are used to treat infections. Specifically, they are for treating microbial (bacterial) infections. Antibiotics can be used to treat many types. Depending on the type or seriousness of infection, different antibiotics are used. For instance, a person with severe acne may be prescribed a topical gel with clindamycin but a person with a severe case of syphilis may be treated with a course of penicillin. However, antibiotics do not work on viruses, which is why they don't work on colds or flu. It's very important to follow a doctor's instructions when taking antibiotics, as microbes can become resistant to them if not treated correctly. Even if you are feeling better, you should continue taking the full course because if the bacteria is still present in tiny amounts, it could come back and then the antibiotics won't work. This is also why it's important to not take antibiotics unless they have been prescribed specifically for your infection.
The majority of infections can be treated with antibiotics, however, there are a few strains of antibiotic-resistent super bugs, such as MRSA (Methicillin Resistant Staphylococcus Aureus) and VRSA (Vancomycin Resistant Staphylococcus Aureus.)
Only bacterial infections they are not effective for viral infections.
Most of the time Antibiotics are 99% successful, they help treat the infection and the person who had the infection is clear, but how ever 1% of the time Antibiotics can fail, meaning that the person has to use a different type of Antibiotic :)10 years in medicine!Hope I Helped? :)
There several ways through which protists can be treated. This will depend on the particular type of protist but the common treatments are using antivirals and antibiotics.
You need to ask your doctor or go to the clinic to get an antibiotic, and every infection is different, so only certain antibiotics will help each different infection.
The best way to treat a urinary tract infection is with oral antibiotics. Since this type of infection is bacterial it can usually be cleared up this way within days.
