Antimicrobial treatments, including antibiotics, antivirals, and antifungals, are essential in managing infectious diseases. Epidemiologists monitor patterns of antimicrobial resistance and guide the rational use of these therapies. Strategies such as antimicrobial stewardship programs are implemented to optimize treatment outcomes and minimize the development of resistance, ensuring these vital drugs remain effective.
