Antibacterial Drugs

Antibacterial drugs, also known as antibiotics, are a class of medications used to treat bacterial infections by inhibiting the growth of bacteria or by killing them. Antibiotics are an essential part of modern medicine and have saved countless lives since their discovery. Here are some common types of antibacterial drugs and their uses. Aminoglycosides, like gentamicin and tobramycin, are typically used in hospitals to treat severe infections, including those caused by multidrug-resistant bacteria. They are administered intravenously and can be toxic to the kidneys and ears if not used carefully.
