Antibiotic treatment is a type of medical treatment that involves the use of antibiotics to kill or inhibit the growth of bacteria that cause infections in humans or animals. Antibiotics work by targeting specific bacteria and either killing them or stopping their reproduction, thus helping the body's immune system to effectively fight off the infection. Antibiotics are often prescribed by medical professionals for a wide range of infections, from common bacterial infections like strep throat or urinary tract infections to more serious conditions like pneumonia or sepsis. It is important to use antibiotics as prescribed, as improper use can lead to antibiotic resistance and make infections harder to treat in the future.
