Pharmacology of Infectious Diseases

The pharmacology of infectious diseases encompasses the study of medications used to treat microbial infections, including bacteria, viruses, fungi, and parasites. Antibiotics are pivotal in combating bacterial infections by targeting specific bacterial components or metabolic processes. Antiviral drugs inhibit viral replication or entry into host cells, reducing the severity and duration of viral illnesses. Antifungal agents tackle fungal infections by disrupting fungal cell walls or membranes. Similarly, antiparasitic drugs act against various parasites, such as protozoa and helminths, by interfering with their metabolic pathways or life cycles. Understanding the mechanisms of action and pharmacokinetics of these drugs is crucial for effective treatment and combating antimicrobial resistance.
