Antibiotics of natural origin are produced by fungi (penicillin) and actinomycetes. They can also be obtained from plants (phytoncids), bacteria (polymyxins) and animal and fish tissues.
Semi-synthetic antibiotics are obtained by biosynthesis with subsequent chemical modifications: the original molecule of a natural antibiotic obtained as a result of biological synthesis is modified, for example, by attaching radicals to it. This leads to the fact that the antimicrobial and pharmacological properties of the drug are improved.
Synthetic antibiotics are chemical analogues of natural antibiotics.
