Antibiotics & Antiinfectives
A drug used to treat infections caused by bacteria and other microorganisms is known as Antibiotics. It is a compound or substance that kills or slow down the growth of bacteria. Originally, an antibiotic was a substance produced by one microorganism that selectively inhibits the growth of another.Few Antibiotics are tetracycline,penicillin and many more.
When infection attacks the body, anti-infective drugs can suppress the infection. Four types of anti-infective or drugs exist: antibacterial (antibiotic), antiviral, antitubercular, and antifungal. Depending on the severity and the type of infection, the antibiotic may be given by mouth, injection or may be applied topicallyThe symptoms of an infection affect the whole body generally, such as fatigue, loss of appetite, weight loss, fevers, night sweats, chills, aches and pains. Others are specific to individual body parts, such as skin rashes, coughing, or a runny nose..
Oxazolidinones
Oxazolidinones are mainly used as antimicrobials. The antibacterial effect of oxazolidinones is by working as protein synthesis inhibitors, targeting an early step involving the binding of N-formylmethionyl-tRNA to the ribosome. Some of the most important oxazolidinones are the last generation of antibiotics used against gram-positive pathogens, including superbugs such as Methicillin-resistant Staphylococcus aureus.
