Antibiotics are substances secreted by living microorganisms that have the ability to kill other microorganisms or inhibit their growth. They are primarily used due to their inhibitory effect on pathogenic microorganisms, in particular bacteria or fungi, or in some cases on tumors. They can be effective even at a concentration in the blood of several micrograms per 1 ml
