Gentamicin belongs to the class of antibiotics that works by binding to the 30S ribosomal subunit in bacteria, disrupting protein synthesis, and causing bacterial cell death. Miconazole belongs to the class of antifungals that works by inhibiting ergosterol synthesis, disrupting fungal cell membranes and causing cell death.

Bacterial infection: It is a condition in which harmful bacteria enter, infect, and grows in the body. It can target any part of the body and multiply very quickly. Bacteria come in three basic shapes, namely spherical, rod, or spiral-shaped. Bacteria may be gram-positive (have thick cell walls) or gram-negative (do not have cell walls). Appropriate tests are done to identify bacterial strains, and based on the results, proper medication is prescribed. Some common symptoms of bacterial infection include cough, fever, and tiredness.
