What are Antimicrobials?
Antimicrobials can be defined as substances that kill microorganisms or inhibit their growth. They can be classified based on the microorganisms they affect. For example, antibiotics are used against bacteria, antifungals against fungi, antiviral drugs against viruses, and antiparasitic drugs against parasites. Antimicrobials can also be classified according to their functions.
Types of Antimicrobials:
- Antibiotics: Effective against bacteria.
- Antifungals: Used against fungal infections.
- Antiviral Drugs: Effective against viruses.
- Antiparasitic Drugs: Used against parasites.
Antimicrobial agents have a broad range of applications in both medical and industrial settings.
