How Do Antimicrobials Work?

Antimicrobials work through various mechanisms:
Inhibition of cell wall synthesis: This mechanism is used by antibiotics like penicillin and cephalosporins.
Inhibition of protein synthesis: Agents like tetracyclines and macrolides fall into this category.
Inhibition of nucleic acid synthesis: Quinolones and antiviral agents often work through this mechanism.
Disruption of cell membrane function: Antifungal agents like amphotericin B act in this manner.
