Umm no?  I think you're mixing the ideas of antibodies with antibiotics.  Antibiotics are chemical compounds primarily used to kill off bacterial cells, without having an effect on eukaryotic cells.  Antibodies are proteins that the body makes in response to pathogens / to protect it from pathogens.  To my knowledge, although I welcome the correction if I'm wrong, they're somewhat mutually exclusive things.
