antibiotically
This term is used almost exclusively within medical, pharmacological, and scientific registers. It describes the specific method of treatment or the mechanism of action used to combat bacterial infections, distinguishing it from other forms of therapy such as surgically or chemically.
Because it is a technical adverb derived from "antibiotic," it is rarely found in casual conversation. In non-clinical settings, speakers typically prefer phrases like "with antibiotics" or "using antibiotics" to convey the same meaning.
