antibiotic therapy
Bacterial illness cure
Antibiotic therapy is the treatment of bacterial infections using antibiotics—medications that kill bacteria or prevent their reproduction.
The term appears in medical contexts to describe a course of treatment: The doctor prescribed a two-week antibiotic therapy for the infection.
Therapy emphasizes the planned, sustained nature of the treatment rather than a single dose.
