Summary Introduction

Introduction:

Drugs that are used to treat the microbial infections are commonly referred to as antimicrobial agents. Antimicrobial agents differ in their mode of action, including the inhibitions of cell wall, protein and nucleic acid synthesis, and essential metabolite synthesis. Antimicrobial agents that are used in the treatment of helminthic, protozoan, fungal, and viral diseases are grouped as antihelminthic, antiprotozoan, antifungal, and antiviral drugs, respectively. A drug compound should merely target the pathogenic microorganisms and not harm the host system.
