Infectious diseases are caused by pathogenic microorganisms such as bacteria, parasites, fungi, or viruses. They can be transmitted from one person to another through direct or indirect contact. Anti-infective drugs are used to kill (cidal) or stop the growth (static) of infectious agents. Based on target organism, anti-infective drugs can be categorized into antibacterial, antifungal, antiviral, and antiparasitic.
