Antibodies: What Are Antibiotics Came About?
Antibodies
Antibodies play a pivotal role in life as they serve the purpose of patrolling through the bodies systems daily to fight against invading pathogens that cause diseases and infection. These molecules are an essential part of the immune system as they are both the markers and signals in notifying other components of the immune system to destroy the pathogenic threat. Antibodies have also become something much more as they have helped in the advancement in the fields of biological research and development of commercial and medical products. From the articles and websites covering its alternative use, the following will be addressed: How did antibiotics came about? What is the history of antibiotic uses/what are the uses of antibiotics …show more content…
They often present unpleasant side effects like an allergic reaction that can be immediate or delayed to a particular antibiotic treatment. It can also cause issues of vomiting, severe diarrhea, white patches on the tongue, mild to severe abdominal cramps. It has also known to clash with another medicines, most notably disruptiveness of contraceptives which increase likely hood of pregnancy during sexual intercourse. The more severe case is of antibiotic resistance which has started to become a major issue as more antibiotics are becoming useless due to the increase of unnecessary intake of antibiotics. It is worth noting during the early commercial success of penicillin, Alexander Flemming cautioned others of the potential resistance of antibiotics due to the vast increase in use and boy did he predict right. It has become common practice for physicians to prescribe antibiotics for symptoms of colds and flus, which are caused by viruses which cannot be treated with antibiotics. It has become a concern in the food industry due to the constant additive of antibiotics feed to the livestock in which we as consumers eat the meat bought. This overuse of antibiotics have given way to new strains of bacteria such as staphylococcus and MRSA, which some antibiotics no longer apply. This has stated to cause out right concern as it becomes harder …show more content…
