Antimicrobials

Antimicrobials are substances used to kill or inhibit the growth of microorganisms such as bacteria, fungi, viruses, and parasites. They are essential for treating infections and are found in medications like antibiotics, antifungals, antivirals, and antiparasitics. By targeting specific parts of these microorganisms, antimicrobials help resolve infections and prevent their spread. However, improper use can lead to resistance, making some microorganisms harder to eliminate. Proper guidance and adherence to medical instructions are crucial for effective treatment and to maintain their efficacy.
