Antimicrobial Agents

Antimicrobial agents are substances used to treat infections caused by bacteria, viruses, fungi, and parasites. They help to prevent the spread of infectious agents and can be used to treat established infections. Antimicrobial agents are important for the prevention and treatment of a range of conditions from minor infections to more serious diseases like HIV, tuberculosis, and malaria. They are used in both human and veterinary medicine, and play a critical role in public health.
