fungi

Brief Explanations
Antibiotics work by interfering with the bacterial cell wall synthesis, metabolic processes, etc. Viruses have different structures and replication mechanisms, so antibiotics are not effective against them. Fungi have their own set of antifungal medications. Protists are treated with antiprotozoal drugs. Bacteria are the target of antibiotics as they can be inhibited or killed by these medications.
