Although antibiotics are the common treatment of bacterial infection there are several strong home remedies and natural solutions on how to defeat mild to moderate harmful bugs without antibiotics.  Antibiotics are however invaluable when treating very progressed infections, sepsis (infections of the bloodstream) and highly virulent (dangerous and potent bacteria).  Different antibiotics are derived from natural origins.
