Antibiotics Are used to treat infectious diseases in plants, animal, and man, may be natural or synthetic

substance that inhibit the growth of or destroy microorganisms, especially bacteria.

Bacteriagram-positive, gram-negative or acid-fast

Gram’s method of stainingGentian violet

Gonorrhea, syphilis, tuberculosis, pneumonia, chlamydia, rheumatic fever, scarlet fever, meningitis, strepthroat, and

salmonellosis

Extended spectrumPseudomonas, Enterobacter, and Proteus

Adverse reactions.

Hypersensitivity – allergic response [urticaria, skin eruptions/rash, fever, headache, nausea, vomiting and diarrhea]

– Anaphylactic shock [facial or laryngeal edema, dyspnea, cyanosis, circulatory collapse & convulsion]

Organ Toxicity – liver dysfuntions and renal dysfunctions.

Superinfection – resistant strain of bacteria, fungi or yeast.
