What types of antibiotics could kill saccharomyces cerevesiae? And how since it's a fungi and not bacteria?

since is is a fungi you could not use a anti-bacterial medicine. You would need to use an anti fungal agent. I would ask you doctor for something. antibiotics are designed to attack structures that are unique to bacteria. since fungus is usually a multicelled animal it is quite different genetically than a single celled organismWhat types of antibiotics could kill saccharomyces cerevesiae? And how since it's a fungi and not bacteria?
In the literature, I have noticed that this occurs as an invasive infection primarily in immunocompromised persons (e.g. AIDS patients). Try doing a google search for ';saccharomyces infection'; and you'll see that.





The article below says that a combination of Amphotericin B and fluconozole need to be used, assuming you're trying to kill the fungus in a human host and not, say, in a petri dish.





How? Look up the mechanisms of action for the antifungal drugs mentioned above.What types of antibiotics could kill saccharomyces cerevesiae? And how since it's a fungi and not bacteria?
Antibiotics are divided in two big groups: antibacterial and antifungal.


Antifungal ATBS include:


imidazoles: ketoconazol, itraconazol, fluconazol, sulconazol.


griseofulvine; anphotericin B, nistatine, among others.
Aureobasidin A a Cyclic Depsipeptide and also Amphotericin B derived from streptomyces nodosus.
