Antimicrobial Treatments
Antimicrobial treatments are medical therapies designed to kill or inhibit the growth of harmful microorganisms, such as bacteria, viruses, fungi, and parasites. These treatments include a variety of medications, such as antibiotics for bacterial infections, antivirals for viral infections, and antifungals for fungal infections. They are essential in managing infections and preventing the spread of diseases.
These treatments can be administered in various forms, including pills, injections, or topical applications. The effectiveness of antimicrobial treatments depends on the specific microorganism causing the infection and the appropriate choice of medication. Overuse or misuse of these treatments can lead to antimicrobial resistance, making infections harder to treat.
