The Effect of Chemical Materials on Bacteria and Fungi

Dr. Saher Mahmood Jawd

Abstract

Chemical compounds have a significant impact and influence on the effectiveness of some fungal and bacterial organisms, and some of them have been used as chemical antibiotics. It can also be dividedaccording to function. The use of antimicrobial drugs to treat infection is known as antimicrobial chemotherapy while the use of antimicrobial drugs to prevent infection is known as antimicrobial prophylaxis. The main types of antimicrobial agentsare antiseptics (non-specific antimicrobials such as Candida) that kill a wide range of microbes on inanimate surfaces to prevent the spread of disease,sterilizers (which are applied to living tissues tohelp reduce infection during surgery), and antibiotics (which destroy organisms) minute insidethe body. The term “antibiotic” primarily describescompounds that are extracted from microorganisms, but it currently also applies to synthetic antibiotics such as sulfonamide and quinolone. The term also used to apply only to substances that kill bacteria (and is often used in this way by medical experts and in the medical literature) but has now been expanded to include all antimicrobials.
