 Antibacterial drugs are derived from bacteria or molds or are synthesized
de novo. Technically, “antibiotic” refers only to antimicrobials derived from
bacteria or molds but is often used synonymously with “antibacterial drug.”
Many antibiotics are chemically related and are thus grouped into classes.
Although drugs within each class share structural and functional
similarities, they often have different pharmacology and spectra of activity.
Antibiotics sometimes interact with other drugs, raising or lowering serum
levels of other drugs by increasing or decreasing their metabolism or by
various other mechanisms. The most clinically important interactions
involve drugs with a low therapeutic ratio (ie, toxic levels are close to
therapeutic levels). Also, other drugs can increase or decrease levels of
antibiotics.
As we go along our next topic, you will learn more about ANTIBACTERIALS,
which you can apply as you care for your clients with infections.
