Antibiotics

Antibiotics are medicines directed against bacteria, with different families and activity spectra. This professional category brings together systemic antibacterials and the antimycobacterial medicines assigned to it. Oral and injectable forms, single substances and combinations retain their own pharmaceutical identity. Distinguishing antibiotics from antivirals and antifungals is fundamental: an infectious setting alone does not determine the relevant class or make two antibiotics equivalent. Substance, presentation and documented characteristics provide more precise information than the broad word anti-infective or the name of a symptom.
