Anti-infectives are the agents or drugs that help to eradicate the infection from the human body.
As the infectious diseases like dengue fever, Ebola infection, tuberculosis, bacterial meningitis, malaria, etc., are rising at a high pace, the development of new anti-infective agents has become a global health priority.
