Are antibodies and antibiotics related? Talk about the differences and connections.

The difference is obvious and there is basically no connection.

Antibodies are specific binding proteins produced by the immune system of higher organisms in response to foreign foreign substances (viruses, bacteria, protein fragments, other substances, etc.), which can play a special role in recognizing such substances.

Antibiotics are metabolic end products of bacteria or fungi. They have no effect on themselves, but can kill other surrounding microorganisms (for example, penicillin is secreted by Penicillium, but it can kill surrounding grapes. cocci). Its mode of action is to play a bactericidal effect by blocking a certain metabolic or synthetic pathway of other microorganisms.

To put it simply, the difference between them is that they have different sources, different modes of action, and different effects.

Personally, I think the only connection between them is that antibiotics can act as alien substances to trigger the immune response of higher organisms (such as the human body) and produce antibodies against antibiotics.
