Which category of medication is primarily used to treat infections caused by bacteria?

Antibiotics
Antifungals
Antidiabetics
Antivirals

The correct answer is: Antibiotics

Antibiotics are prescribed specifically to treat bacterial infections. Antibiotics target bacteria by either killing them or preventing their reproduction. Antifungals are used to treat fungal infections and are not effective against bacteria. Antidiabetic medications are used to manage diabetes and do not have any effect on bacterial infections. Antivirals are prescribed for viral infections and will not be effective against bacteria.
