Antibacterial Drugs Can Be Produced From Bacteria or Molds
Sometimes, antibiotics and other
medications interact, increasing or decreasing the serum levels of other
medications by altering their metabolism or by a number of other mechanisms
(see table Some Common Effects of Antibiotics on Other Drugs). Drugs with a low
therapeutic ratio are involved in the most clinically significant interactions
(ie, toxic levels are close to therapeutic levels). Additionally, other
medications can change the amount of antibiotics in the body. Since many
antibiotics share chemical similarities, they are classified into classes.
Despite having structural and functional similarities, each class of drugs
differs in their pharmacology and spectrum of activity.
Global
Antibacterial Drugs Market is estimated to be valued at US$ 44,612.2 Mn in 2022 and is expected to exhibit a CAGR of 4.3% over the forecast period
(2022-2030).
Infections brought on by various
bacteria pose a serious threat to human health. This encourages researchers to
better understand how antibacterial substances interact with biological media
in order to develop new treatments for these diseases. In this context, the
chapter explains some fundamental ideas about antibacterial
drugs. The methods for creating novel compounds and particular design
strategies using polymer materials are discussed in relation to the
antibacterial compounds' in vitro and in vivo activity. The most common antibacterial
drugs are reviewed in terms of their mechanisms of action, selected in
vivo efficacy, and mechanisms of resistance.
The biomedical sciences have been
the focus of a lot of research over the past few decades in an effort to find a
cure for the current health problems brought on by microbial infections. For
most of human history, infectious diseases have been a significant cause of
morbidity and mortality. One of the most effective methods in chemotherapy that
greatly aids in the control of infections is the introduction of antimicrobial
materials into routine clinical use.
