The need of controlling infectious microbes has increased in the past years due to the increased resistance of the microorganisms towards the antimicrobial agents as a result of the changes in their cellular membrane proteins, ionic channels, and cell surface receptors. Scientists are working their best to offer such an agent that could prove practical to harmful microbes that pose threats to the lives of people. This review focuses on the information about the modes of actions of some antimicrobial agents that are recently discovered, approved or used by scientific laboratories and pharmaceutical companies to make the future studies somewhat easier for the young scientists to make their way through their research works leading to newer drug discoveries with new and improved mechanisms against microbial integrity. Many new drugs have recently been reported to have performed their best against multidrug resistant Staphylococcus aureus and Pseudomonas, apart from bacterial control several new antifungal and antiviral agents have also been reported that are known to have performed best at clinical levels.
