Antiinfective agents –

substances that act against or destroy infections

Antibacterial agents –

substances that destroy or suppress the growth or multiplication of bacteria

Antibiotic agents –

Chemical substances produced by microorganisms that have the capacity, in diluted solutions, to destroy or suppress the growth or multiplication of organisms to prevent their action

Antimicrobial agents –

Substances that destroy or suppress the growth or multiplication of microorganisms

Antifungal agents –

Substances that destroy or suppress the growth or multiplication of fungi

Substances that destroy or suppress the growth of multiplication of viruses

The ability to kill bacteria – this effect is irreversible

the ability to inhibit or retard the multiplication or growth of bacteria. This is a reversible process

Resistance (related to antibiotics) –

is the natural or acquired ability of an organisms to be immune to or to withstand the effects of an antiinfective agent.

Bacteroide species –

are a group of anaerobic bacteria that are commonly found in the human gut and play a significant role in digestion and the gut microbiome. They are part of the normal flora and help break down complex carbohydrates.

Natural Resistance –

occurs when an organism has always been resistant to an antimicrobial agent because of the bacteria’s normal properties

Acquired Resistance –

occurs when an organism that was previously sensitive to an antimicrobial agent becomes resistance

Penicillins Antibacterial drugs

amoxicillin/clavulanic acid (Augmentin)

tetracycline (Sumycin, Ala-Tet, Brodspec)

doxycycline capsules (Periostat)

minocycline microspheres (Arestin)

neomycin/polymyxin/bacitracin (Neosporin, triple antibiotic ointment)
