Do antibiotics work on fungus'

Answer 1

Yes; antibiotics kill both the harmful and the good bacteria in the body.

Since the candida which causes yeast infection naturally occurs it can occasionally grow back faster than the good bacteria which would normally keep it from spreading if that good bacteria is being killed off by antibiotics.

Even antibacterial soaps can lead to yeast infection.

Answer 2

This will depend upon what you are referring to as an antibiotic. In general terms, antibiotic simple means "against life" so there are antibiotics that are effective against yeast. However, in medical terminology, antibiotic typically refers to a medication that kills bacteria - these medications will not kill yeast because yeast is a fungus, not a bacteria.

There are a subclass of antimicrobials (a term which encompasses all therapeutic medications effective against living organisms) called antifungals that are used to treat yeast and fungal infections. The names typically end in "azole" or "izole".
