What are Antimicrobial Agents? This video covers the medical definition and provides a brief overview of this topic.
➡️ Antimicrobial Agents Overview
They are a type of medication that kills harmful microorganisms and/or stops them from growing or spreading in the lungs. Antimicrobial drugs are typically classified according to the microorganisms that they act upon.
➡️ Examples:
- Antibiotics are a type of antimicrobial agent that fight against bacteria.
- Antifungals are used to fight and eliminate fungi.
- Antipneumocystis agents are used for treating patients who are diagnosed with AIDS.
➡️ More Information:
Antibiotics are the most common type within this class of medications. And, as I mentioned, they are used to fight different types of bacteria. Whenever a patient is showing signs and symptoms of a bacterial infection, as a medical care provider, this is when you would know that an antibiotic medication may be indicated. Some common signs and symptoms to look for include fever, chills, diaphoresis, green or yellow sputum, and an increased white blood cell count. In order to determine which antibiotic should be administered, a culture and sensitivity or gram stain test can be used to identify whichever bacterial organism is present. This would allow you to choose the most appropriate antibiotic agent. As a Respiratory Therapist, that are some inhaled antimicrobial agents that you should be familiar with.
➡️ Here are some tidbits to remember:
- Penicillin is an antibiotic used to treat gram-positive bacteria. Gentamicin is used to treat gram-negative bacteria.
- Pentamidine (NebuPent) is administered to treat pneumonia caused by the Pneumocystis carinii fungus.
- Aerosolized Tobramycin (TOBI) is often administered to treat patients with cystic fibrosis.
- Aztreonam (Cayston) is commonly used to treat Pseudomonas in patients with cystic fibrosis as well.
- Ribavirin (Vibrazole) is administered to treat RSV in children.
- Zanamivir (Relenza) is an approved medication used to treat the flu.
