Antimicrobial Chemotherapy plays a pivotal role in combating bacterial, viral, fungal, and parasitic infections, offering a diverse arsenal of agents to thwart microbial growth. Antibiotics, the cornerstone of antimicrobial therapy, target bacterial organisms by disrupting crucial cellular processes or structures. These agents can be classified into various categories, including beta-lactams, tetracyclines, macrolides, and fluoroquinolones, each with unique mechanisms of action. In addition to antibiotics, antiviral drugs are instrumental in managing viral infections. These medications often interfere with the virus's replication cycle, preventing its spread within the host. Antifungal and antiparasitic agents further broaden the spectrum of antimicrobial therapy, addressing mycoses and parasitic diseases. However, the widespread use of antimicrobials has led to the emergence of drug-resistant strains, posing a global health challenge. This underscores the importance of judicious and responsible use of antimicrobial agents to preserve their efficacy and mitigate the development of resistance.
