Antibacterial Agents History, Classes, Clinical Pharmacology & Principles of Therapy,

Описание: 📌 Antibacterial Agents: History, Classes, Clinical Pharmacology & Principles of Therapy
Antibiotics transformed modern medicine — but rising antimicrobial resistance (AMR) now threatens their future.In this comprehensive, high-yield lecture, we take a deep dive into antibacterial agents, tracing their historical origins, explaining major drug classes, and—most importantly—laying out the clinical pharmacology and principles of rational therapy used in real-world practice.
This video integrates history, microbiology, pharmacokinetics/pharmacodynamics (PK/PD), stewardship, and clinical decision-making, making it ideal for exam preparation, ward rounds, and clinical reasoning.

🎯 What You’ll Learn in This Video
✔️ Why antibiotics are one of the greatest medical breakthroughs✔️ The Golden Age of antibiotic discovery and why innovation slowed✔️ Origins of major antibiotic classes (natural products & synthetic agents)✔️ Mechanisms of action and resistance✔️ PK/PD principles: time-dependent vs concentration-dependent killing✔️ How to choose antibiotics based on site of infection & host factors✔️ Empiric vs definitive therapy & de-escalation strategies✔️ Therapeutic drug monitoring (TDM) – when and why it matters✔️ Antibiotic use in renal impairment & dialysis✔️ Duration of therapy: short vs prolonged courses✔️ Role of combination therapy and when to avoid it✔️ Biofilms, foreign-body infections & source control✔️ Core principles of antimicrobial stewardship

🩺 Who This Lecture Is For
• Medical students (pre-clinical & clinical)• Pharmacy & pharmacology students• Residents & interns• Clinicians & prescribers• Infectious disease & internal medicine trainees• Anyone preparing for exams or refreshing antibiotic fundamentals

🧠 Why This Matters
Antibiotics are a finite resource. Effective therapy requires more than memorizing drug names — it demands diagnostic accuracy, PK/PD understanding, stewardship awareness, and patient-centered decision-making.This lecture connects the science to the bedside.
