What is the mode of action of Nitroimidazoles?
Nitroimidazoles work by disrupting the DNA of the susceptible bacteria and inhibiting the protein synthesis of the cell wall leading to cell death; they act as bactericidal and antimicrobial agents. Nitroimidazoles are given orally as intravenous infusions and used for local applications in skin infections.
