Non Antimicrobial Effects of Antibacterial Agents
Aside from their antibacterial activity, antimicrobial agents have also some beneficial effects due to their chemical structures. These effects include anti-inflammatory, immunomodulatory, anti-cancer, anti-angiogenic, neuroprotective, cardioprotective, augmented gastrointestinal motility, and bindi...
