Treatment and health care[edit] Bacteria are usually treated with antibiotics while viruses are treated with antiviral compounds. Eukaryotic pathogens are typically not susceptible to antibiotics and thus need specific drugs. Infection with many pathogens can be prevented by immunization.
Most types of bacteria (germs) can be treated with antibiotics. Multi-drug resistant organisms are bacteria (germs) that have become resistant to many antibiotics. Some of these germs make enzymes (substances) which do not allow the antibiotic to work. That means that certain antibiotics will not be effective in killing or controlling the bacteria. Examples of MDROs are:
