Question: While the human immune system is generally effective at fighting bacterial infections, sometimes the infection overpowers the body’s defenses. In that case, the administration of an antibiotic may be necessary. How does an antibiotic work with the immune system?

A. The antibiotic works alongside the immune system without affecting it directly.

B. The antibiotic weakens the immune system, so the body doesn’t interfere with the actions of the drug.

C. The antibiotic strengthens the body’s nonspecific response, so the body is better able to keep out new types of bacteria.

D. The antibiotic strengthens the active immune response, so the body produces more antibodies to target the harmful bacteria.

Answer:

My guess would be option A.

Step-by-step explanation:

Antibiotics work on bacterial infections. These chemicals kill the bacteria cells but do not affect cells that make up the body. For example, many antibiotics interrupt machinery inside bacterial cells that builds the cell wall.
