what are the natural product which used as antibiotic drugs?

I am not a herbalist; however, I found a Web site which I refer to often for natural alternatives to drugs--www.reikinurse. com/Natural Antibiotics.\n I hope you too will find there many topics of inerest and a pleasure of exploring this beautiful site.  Good luck!

*Leaf apply locally for abcess.\n*Anthraquinone is the main secondary metabolite.

It is a strong antibiotic used to treat bacterial problems, STDs, and even acne,infections of the skin, bone, stomach, respiratory tract, sinuses, ear, and urinary tract. It also treats Lyme disease.

Bees put all kinds of antibacterial and antifungal agents into honey, in addition to those originally from the plants they collected the pollen and nectar from. Honey can be used to dress wounds if no antibiotics are available. \n Honey has a very high sugar content (about 75%), this means high osmotic pressure, this will kill most of the microorganisms that could spoil honey.

the best known good role is the normal flora which is the microbes of the skin, intestine.. that are naturally thier some produce antibiotics that kills pathogenic bacteria and some produce vitamins..some lactobacilli produce lactic acid in the vagina and prevent the growth of fungi like Candida albicans

just go to wikipedia and search antibiotics.

"Natamax(TM) is a natural antimicrobial agent that is used to control spoilage due to yeasts and moulds in a variety of foods and beverages.\n\nThe active ingredient, natamycin, also known as PIMACIN, a polyene microlide, is naturally produced by streptomyces natalensis. It is effective against a wide variety of yeast and moulds but has no effect on bacteria."

Natural indigo dye is extracted from the legume plant Indigofera tinctoria. The process involves over night fermentation of harvested indigo plant using bacteria in specially designed cement moulded ring tank. After fermentation the plant debris are removed and the ferment liquid is oxidised using specially designed mechanical agitator. The precipitated indigo settles down at the bottom of the tank as slurry is collected, boiled and sun dried as indigo cake.\n\nSome more--\n\nAnthraquinone compounds, historically of crucial importance in the dyestuffs industry, have also been identified as secondary metabolites produced by fungi. Secondary metabolites are low molecular weight natural products that have a restricted taxonomic distribution, possess no obvious function in cell growth and are synthesised for a finite period by cells that are no longer undergoing balanced growth. Primary metabolism includes all of the anabolic and catabolic processes that are finely balanced to keep the organism alive. It is essentially an identical process for all living organisms.Many compounds now referred to as secondary metabolites were known and widely exploited prior to modern biotechnology and were mainly obtained from plants. Examples of use are as dyes, perfumes, spices, poisons, pharmacological agents and cosmetics.The occurrence of large scale secondary metabolism is not common to all living organisms, but restricted to certain taxonomic groups. Among animals, arthropods, coral reef coelenterates and other marine invertebrates (e.g. sea urchins and starfish) are the most prolific producers of secondary metabolites. Within the plant kingdom a great abundance of secondary metabolites have been isolated. Few secondary metabolites have been reported in blue-green algae, whereas a rich and extensive secondary metabolism has been observed in bacteria and fungi.Secondary metabolites are thought to have specialised survival functions in nature, being particularly numerous in organisms occupying densely inhabited environments and are believed to have a prominent role in the coexistence and coevolution of species allowing interaction within a community .Despite their diversity, secondary metabolites are all produced from a few key intermediates of primary metabolism. Primary and secondary metabolism are intimately related, with secondary metabolites depending on precursors and energy generated through primary metabolism.The anthraquinone secondary metabolite alizarin is derived from the madder plant. It was exploited as a colorant by man long before the structure was elucidated by Graebe and Liebermann in the 1860s. The anthraquinonoid colorants form the basis of many of the modern synthetic dyes and, after the azo class, they form the second most important group of organic colorants listed in the Colour Index today. Anthraquinone dyes tend to predominate in the violet, blue and green hue sectors in the disperse, vat, and acid application classes of dyes, although they have also made important contributions to mordant, solvent and reactive dyes and also to pigments.Anthraquinone disperse dyes still predominate in the dyeing of cellulose acetate and polyamide substrates, and find use with polyester where other dyes have limitations in application, for example, meeting the extremely high light fastness requirements for very pale colours or for the dyeing of polyester upholstery trim in the automotive sector. However, anthraquinone dyes are at present in decline. This essentially is not a result of any shortcoming of these compounds as dyes, but chiefly because their chemical production is expensive and environmentally unfriendly. Several methods of anthraquinone production have been employed depending on the resources available, but all processes require strong acids, alkalis, high temperatures and heavy metal catalysts.The dyestuff industry is suffering from increases in costs of feedstock and energy for dye synthesis. It is also under increasing

The area of chemistry that does this is synthetic organic chemistry. It really only came into its own in the latter half of the 20th century, but is a mainstay of the modern pharmaceutical industry.\n\nIt turns out that some drugs can be easily extracted from natural sources (like penicillin), while others cannot. The potent anti-cancer drug Taxol is made in yew trees, but it would take many ancient yew trees to provide enough Taxol for a single dose. As a result, once a compound has been identified as medically useful, chemists will devise strategies to make the molecule using a series of carefully designed chemical reactions.\n\nIn other cases, by synthesizing the drug slight changes in its structure can be introduced. For example, slight changes in penicillin have given us ampicillin, amoxicillin, ticarcillin and the cephalosporins. While all of these work in a manner similar to penicillin, they have very different anti-microbial activity and can kill certain species of bacteria that are resistant to penicillin.\n\nWithout synthetic organic chemistry, much of modern medicine would not exist.

There are quite a few, you must ask your doctor to be sure that the right antibiotic is treating the right infection-bacteria.  I do know that prolong use of any antibiotic will build up your immune system to the antibiotic and it will not be effective to fight off future infections.

sulfur based antibiotics used to kick a** in the early days of antibiotics, e.g. the sulfamethoxazole. rarely used now due to hypersensitivity and better options being available. however, sulfur based compounds are still in use as topical creams for burns and infections, like silver sulfadiazine.

Fungus makes antibiotics, which are secondary metabolites.

Naturopathic doctors have been treating HIV with natural compounds for years the only reason you don't hear more about them is that they are suppressed by the FDA who are in cahoots with the big drug companies only because they can't \npatent a natural substance. Look at colloidal silver, olive leaf concentrate and grapefruit seed extract online and decide for yourself.

Pharmaceutical definitely ... e.g. aspirin obtained from fractional distillation of wood, solvents used to dissolve medicinal ingredients.\n\nAlso, many non=pharmaceutical products.. e.g. products obtained from natural gas or petrolium.

Antibiotics are specificly to kill bacteria.  When misused they can promote the development of bacteria that are resistant to antibiotics so should always be used by following a physician's directions

Nope, natural selection/evolution leads to bacterial resistance to antibiotics. No antibiotic is perfect. If we wipe some out, there would still be some left.

This sounds like a name of an antibiotic, derived from Streptomycetes. Google search does not give a single result so probably you've spelled the name incorrectly. You could try looking up at http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Antibiotic , but I think that list of antibiotics is far from exhaustive. The closest names I could think of are actinomycin, kirromycin, maybe clarithromycin...
