Explain the cellular functions that occur when antibiotics attack a bacteria cell. Can someone explain this to me but in a simple way?

What do you know yet ?

OpenStudy (anonymous):

I know how the antibiotic goes to like a certain code on the bacteria or something like that

OpenStudy (abhisar):

It's a very long thing. They are two procedures by which the antibiotic attacks the bacterial cells. One is by interfering with the bacteria's ability to repair its damaged DNA, by stopping the bacteria's ability to make what it needs to grow new cells, and the other is by weakening the bacteria's cell wall until it bursts.

OpenStudy (abhisar):

Former is called as bacteriostatic antibiotic and later is called as bacteriocidal antibiotic.
