Antimicrobial: A drug used to treat a microbial infection. Antimicrobial is a general term that refers to a group of drugs that includes antibiotics, antifungals, antiprotozoals, and antivirals.
Other antimicrobial drugs include antifungal drugs, which inhibit fungi, antiviral drugs, which inhibit viruses, and antiparasitic drugs, which inhibit parasites. We've learned that it's very important for antimicrobial drugs to have selective toxicity, which is specific inhibition of some types of cells but not others.ther antimicrobial drugs include antifungal drugs, which inhibit fungi, antiviral drugs, which inhibit viruses, and antiparasitic drugs, which inhibit parasites.
