Antimicrobials and Drug Resistance

Antifungal and Antiparasitic agents

Antifungal and antiparasitic are class of medication for pharmaceutical fungicide or fungistatic used to treat and prevent mycoses  and treatment of parasitic diseases, such as those caused by helminths etc ,respectively. Invasive fungal infections causes  significant health problem in immune compromised patients.  So as the clinical manifestations vary and can range from colonization in allergic broncho pulmonary disease to active infection in local aetiologic agents. Therefore drug dose monitoring is necessary to ensure the therapeutic levels achieved for optimal clinical efficacy. Various Immunomodulatory properties have been identified in various antiparasitic agents and their potential therapeutic applications have been recognized. Antiparasitic resistance is the genetic ability of parasites to survive the effects of an antiparasitic drug to which they were previously susceptible. Practical and effective strategies to combat antiparasitic resistance are somewhat  critical.
