Antibiotics are naturally occurring chemicals secreted by one microorganism to defend against attack from other microorganisms, including bacteria, viruses, fungi, protozoans, and helminths. Since the 1940s, antibiotics have been exploited for therapeutic and research purposes. The most common research use of antibiotics is for selection and screening of genetically modified prokaryotes and eukaryotes.
