Fosmidomycin

Fosmidomycin is an antibiotic that targets a specific enzyme involved in the production of essential molecules for certain bacteria and parasites, including the ones causing malaria. By blocking this enzyme, it prevents these organisms from making the compounds they need to grow and survive. This makes Fosmidomycin effective in treating infections like malaria. It is often used in combination with other drugs to improve effectiveness and help reduce resistance. Overall, Fosmidomycin interferes with the biological processes of harmful microbes, helping the immune system eliminate the infection.
