What is the significance of antibiotics in medicine
  • 1 answers

Yogita Ingle 5 years ago

  • Antibiotics are used as drugs to treat infections because of their low toxicity for humans and animals.
  • An antibiotic is a substance produced wholly or partly by chemical synthesis, which in low concentrations inhibits the growth or destroys microorganisms by intervening in their metabolic processes.
  • In order to find chemicals this will affect the invading bacteria and not the host.
  • Paul Ehrlich, a German bacteriologist, conceived this idea. He investigated arsenic based structures in order to produce less toxic substances for the treatment of syphilis.
  • He developed the medicine, arsphenamine, known as salvarsan.
  • Although salvarsan is toxic to human beings, its effect on the bacteria, spirochete, which causes syphilis, is much greater than on human beings.
