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..

Chloramphenicol

Cephalosporins are the most frequently prescribed class of antibiotics. They are structurally and pharmacologically related to the penicillins. Like the penicillins, cephalosporins have a beta-lactam ring structure that interferes with synthesis of the bacterial cell wall and so are bactericidal (which means that they kill bacteria). Cephalosporins are bactericidal agents and have the same mode of action as other beta-lactam antibiotics (such as penicillins). All bacterial cells have a cell wall that protects them. Cephalosporins disrupt the synthesis of the peptidoglycan layer of bacterial cell walls, which causes the walls to break down and eventually the bacteria die.
