  medicines. They are synthetic drugs that cure the
  bacterial infections either by injuring or by
  killing pathogenic bacteria.

• Remember, antibiotics are helpful in treating
  bacterial infections. They are not used for
  infections caused by viruses or fungi, though the
  symptoms are quite similar.
