And even a drug normally effective against an agent is not always effective. For example, antivirals may treat some flu strains, but only when used soon after symptoms appear. Many of the infectious agents mentioned above have also evolved resistance to the drugs that previously worked. It is always advisable to avoid infection in the first place.
