Emerging Infectious Diseases

Current Research and Advancements

Chemicals, drugs or other substances which are used to treat infectious disease can include either antibacterial or antiviral agents. Along with the discovery, development and clinical use of antibacterial drugs, the mortality from infections has been eventually reduced in past few years. However, antibiotic resistant pathogens have accelerated emergence as a consequence of widespread and injudicious use of antimicrobial drugs, which results in a serious threat to public health.
