What types of infectious diseases do antibiotics cure?

depends on the antibiotic and the infectious disease

Antibiotics work only against bacterial infections. They work by weakening the bacteria's cell wall, destroying the cell wall or blocking a metabolic pathway that a bacteria needs. They do not work against viruses, worms or protozoa.

Hope this helps!
