Résumé

Antimicrobial agents comprise chemically and biologically diverse substances that inhibit microbial growth or reduce microbial viability. This book introduces the historical development of antimicrobial therapy and examines the classification, chemical structures, activity spectra, and mechanisms of action of major antimicrobial groups. Separate chapters address antibacterial drugs, antifungal agents, and antimicrobial peptides, with attention to molecular targets, structural characteristics, resistance mechanisms, and limitations of use. Comparisons between drug classes clarify why chemical similarity does not necessarily imply identical activity or therapeutic performance. The text also distinguishes laboratory evidence of antimicrobial activity from the additional pharmacological and clinical evidence required to establish therapeutic effectiveness.
