    • Pharmaceuticals are compounds that are manufactured for use as a medicinal drug. They are used as treatment strategies to control infectious diseases by reducing the number of pathogens in hosts and therefore, limiting transmission rates. 
    • The therapeutic use of drugs to treat a disease is called chemotherapy. 
    • This chemotherapeutic approach to treat and control an infectious disease involves the use of antimicrobial medications to either kill or inhibit the reproduction of the pathogen.
