Antibiotics are drugs that kill or prevent the growth of bacteria.
Antibiotics were among the more notable items available on the black market before Phelan's death (Black Market).
During the colonization of New Caprica, Anders contracts pneumonia. Dr. Cottle is unable to treat Anders because there are no antibiotics available. He can only advise Thrace to make sure Anders gets enough rest in order to recover. Later, Col. Tigh mentions to Thrace that Pegasus keeps a store of backup medical supplies, so she calls Commander Lee Adama aboard Pegasus to request the antibiotics. Unfortunately, she is interrupted by the arrival of the Cylon fleet (Lay Down Your Burdens, Part II).
