Antimycobacterial drugs - what does this mean

Antimycobacterial drugs are used to treat diseases caused by mycobacterium, a type of bacteria. these drugs work by disrupting the cell wall of the bacteria, preventing them from replicating and causing infection. they can also be used to prevent the spread of infection from one person to another.

What happens during the disease - antimycobacterial drugs

The pathogenesis of antimycobacterial drugs is the process by which the drugs interact with the bacteria causing the infection, leading to the destruction of the bacterial cells. the drugs bind to specific receptors on the bacterial cell surface, preventing the bacteria from reproducing and eventually leading to cell death. in addition, the drugs can also inhibit the synthesis of essential bacterial components such as proteins and cell wall components, leading to the destruction of the bacterial cells.
