Antibiotics or antibacterials are a type of antimicrobial agents used specifically against bacteria and are often used in medical treatment of bacterial infections and certain parasitic infections. Antibiotics do not fight infections caused by viruses or fungi or fungal infections of the skin. There are various antibiotics available in the market with different brand names.
Antibiotics are usually grouped together based on their action. Each type of antibiotic only works against certain types of bacteria or parasites. This is why different antibiotics are used to treat different types of infection.
The main types of antibiotics include:
Penicillins
Cephalosporins
Tetracyclines
Aminoglycosides
Macrolides
Quinolones etc.
Antibiotics works on two mechanisms.
Some antibiotics works by killing germs. This is often done by interfering with the structure of the cell wall of the bacterium or parasite. Those are called Bactericidal antibiotics.
Examples of Bactericidal antibiotics:
Penicillins
Cephalosporins
Fluoroquinolones (Ciprofloxacin)
Glycopeptides (Vancomycin)
Monobactams
Carbapenems
Some antibiotics works by inhibiting the growth of organisms. Those are called Bacteriostatics.
Examples of Bacteriostatics:
Tetracyclines
Spectinomycin
Sulphonamides
Macrolides
Chloramphenicol
Trimethoprim...... hope it helps you
