In the environment in which we live, micro-organisms are everywhere and they form complex symbiotic relationships with the human body. However, when certain micro-organisms are overbreeding or intrusion into the human body, they can cause infection and threaten our health. Anti-microbial drugs have emerged to protect against these micro-organisms, which have become an important weapon in our treatment of infectious diseases. This paper will explore in depth the understanding and rational use of anti-microbial drugs and help to better understand and apply them. Definition and classification of anti-microbial drugs An anti-microbial drug is a type of drug that can kill or inhibit the growth and reproduction of micro-organisms and is widely used to treat and prevent infectious diseases in humans, animals and plants. Depending on the target audience, anti-microbial drugs can be classified as anti-bacterials, anti-virals, anti-facter drugs and anti-motheraps. Among them, antibacterial drugs are one of the most familiar of our kind, and they are mainly directed at bacterial infections, including various types of cones, penicillin, erythycin, etc. Second, while anti-microbial drugs play an important role in the treatment of infectious diseases, there are also errors in their use. Anti-microbial drugs are often confused with anti-inflammatory drugs, which are thought to treat all inflammations. However, inflammation is caused by a number of causes, including physical injury, chemical irritation, allergies and microbial infections. Anti-microbial drugs apply only to inflammation caused by microbial infections and are not effective for other types of inflammation. In addition, anti-microbial drugs are used blindly in cases of cold or fever. However, most colds are caused by viral infections, and anti-microbial drugs are ineffective against the virus. In such cases, the use of anti-microbial drugs is not only incurable, but may also increase the risk of bacterial resistance. The principle of rational use of anti-microbial drugs, in order to achieve the full therapeutic effect of anti-microbial drugs and to avoid unnecessary harm, requires the following rational use principles: Treatment can only be achieved if appropriate drugs are selected for specific pathogens. Rational choice of a drug: Based on the type of pathogens and the sensitive test results of the drug, a sensitive drug is selected for treatment. Avoid blind use of broad spectrum antibiotics to reduce bacterial resistance. 3. Sufficient course of treatment: use of sufficient doses and treatment as recommended by the doctor. Do not increase or decrease the dose or stop the drug at will, so as not to affect treatment or to create resistance. 4. Individualized treatment: the development of individualized treatment programmes, taking into account, inter alia, the individual differences of the patient, the area of infection and the severity of the infection. IV. Recommendations to strengthen the management of anti-microbial drugs 1. Increased awareness-raising and awareness-raising among the general public through the media, schools, communities, etc., on the principles of knowledge and rational use of anti-microbial medicines. 2. Improving the regulatory system: establishing a sound regulatory system for anti-microbial drugs and strengthening the supervision of medical institutions and pharmacies to prevent abuse and misuse. 3. Strengthening of scientific and research inputs: Increased investment in research and development to combat microbial drugs, promotion of the development and marketing of new drugs and more options for the treatment of infectious diseases. 4. Promoting international cooperation: enhancing cooperation and exchanges with other countries and regions to address the challenges of bacterial resistance and to advance the global management of anti-microbial drugs. In short, anti-microbial drugs are an important tool for our treatment of infectious diseases. However, their rational use is essential. We need to increase awareness and understanding of anti-microbial drugs, to follow the principles of rational use, to strengthen management and regulation and to jointly address the challenge of bacterial resistance. Only then can we ensure the effectiveness and safety of anti-microbial drugs and protect human health and safety.
