Antibiotics are antibacterials, used to destroy or slow down the growth of bacteria (thus bacterial infection). It can be consumed either through mouth (orally), or can be applied as a cream or lotion (topically), or through an injection (intravenously).

While antibodies are the proteins produced by white blood cells to defend the body against both infectious disease and foreign materials.
