C
Bacterial infections
D
Parasitic infections
Verified step by step guidance1
Understand that antibiotics are drugs specifically designed to target bacteria, either by killing them or inhibiting their growth.
Recognize that viral infections are caused by viruses, which have a different structure and replication method than bacteria, so antibiotics are ineffective against them.
Know that fungal infections are caused by fungi, which require antifungal medications rather than antibiotics for treatment.
Identify that parasitic infections are caused by parasites such as protozoa or helminths, and these are treated with antiparasitic drugs, not antibiotics.
Conclude that bacterial infections are the type of infections typically treated with antibiotics because antibiotics target bacterial cell structures or functions.
