Chemicals that can selectively interfere with the growth of microorganisms and yet not interfere significantly with the functions of the cells of the host are highly desirable for antimicrobial drugs.

An antimicrobial is an agent that kills microorganisms or inhibits their growth. They classified according to their function. Agents that kill microbes are called microbicidal, while those that merely inhibit their growth are called microbiostatic.
An additive response is one in which the antimicrobial effect of the combination of drugs is equal to the sum of the effects of the two drugs alone.
Metronidazole belongs to a class of drugs called Nitroimidazole Antimicrobial. This medication treats bacterial infections and is considered an antibiotic.
Sulfisoxazole is a sulfonamide antimicrobial agent, which belongs to the class of antibiotics known as sulfa drugs. It works by inhibiting the growth of bacteria by interfering with their folic acid synthesis.
Cipro, which is a Fluoroquinolone Antimicrobial Drug, can cause neuropathy. If you have any concerns about developing neuropathy ( symptoms of burning or numbing) contact your doctor to switch medications. For FDA releases about Fluoroquinolone Antimicrobial Drugs, go to the Related Link to visit the FDA website.
No. For example, Erythromycin is a macrolide antibiotic with an antimicrobial spectrum slightly wider than penicillin, and is often used for people with a penicillin allergy.
Yes, the outer membrane of Gram-negative bacteria contains porin proteins that allow certain antimicrobial drugs to penetrate the cell more easily compared to Gram-positive bacteria. This outer membrane acts as a barrier for some substances but can facilitate the entry of others through these porin channels.
