Preventative Methods • Scientist have developed vaccines and antibiotics to help cure illnesses in modern medicine… • Vaccines-A preparation of a weakened or killed pathogen, such as a bacterium or virus, or of a portion of the pathogen's structure that upon administration stimulates antibody production or cellular immunity against the pathogen but is incapable of causing severe infection. Antibiotics- A substance, such as penicillin, produced by or derived from certain fungi, bacteria, and other organisms, that can destroy or inhibit the growth of other microorganisms.
