LONDON, Aug. 10, 2017 /PRNewswire/ -- Abstract• Antibiotics are drugs used to treat infections that are caused by bacteria. • The introduction of antibiotics is recognized as one of the most transformative events in medicine. • Prior to the introduction of the first antibiotics in the 1930s and 1940s, bacterial infections were often fatal, and invasive surgery was accompanied by a high risk of infectious complications.
