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..
Tetracycline
Tetracyclines are a group of broad-spectrum antibiotics whose general usefulness has been reduced with the onset of bacterial resistance. Despite this, they remain the treatment of choice for some specific indications. Tetracyclines are generally used in the treatment of infections of the urinary tract and the intestines, and is used in the treatment of chlamydia, especially in patients allergic to ?-lactams and macrolides; however, their use for these indications is less popular than it once was due to widespread development of resistance in the causative organisms. Their most common current use is in the treatment of moderately severe acne and rosacea (tetracycline, oxytetracycline, doxycycline, or minocycline).
