Answer:

PAS stands for para-aminosalicylic acid.

Explanation:

Aminosalicylic acid, commonly known as para-aminosalicylic acid (PAS), is an antibiotic predominantly used to treat tuberculosis. It is marketed under the brand name Paser among other names.

The 1940 saw the discovery of para-aminosalicylic acid (PAS) as a second-line anti-TB medication (SLD) for the treatment of tuberculosis. It interferes with folate metabolism by competitively interacting with dihydrofolate reductase as a structural analogue of p-aminobenzoic acid, preventing the formation of tubercle bacilli.

Aminosalicylic acid is a well-known antibiotic that fights tuberculosis. It functions by preventing or retarding bacterial development. Only bacterial illnesses are treated by this antibiotic. For viral infections, it is ineffective.
