In the realm of cells where life resides,
Bacteria lurk, their intent to divide.
Antibiotics march, the warriors brave,
To shield the body and its life to save.

First and foremost, they breach the wall,
A fortress crumbles, and bacteria fall.
Yet, beyond the wall, a new plan brews,
Proteins halted, their function confused.

Moreover, DNA finds itself ensnared,
Fluoroquinolones leave its structure impaired.
Thus, sulfonamides intervene as well,
Blocking folic acid, the bacteria’s spell.

Onward they fight, a diverse crew,
Broad-spectrum soldiers, enemies pursue.
Conversely, some are precise in their aim,
Narrow-spectrum heroes, targets they claim.

Nevertheless, caution must preside,
For misuse opens a dangerous tide.
Resistance looms, bacteria adapt,
The fight grows harder, the balance snapped.

Therefore, heed the rules of this fragile pact,
Complete the course, let no dose distract.
Avoid for viruses, their worth is none,
In proper use, the battle is won.

Finally, with care, antibiotics shine,
A gift of science, both wise and divine.
In their vigilant watch, humanity thrives,
The warriors within, safeguarding lives.
