Do antibiotics work on fungus'?
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.
Do antibiotics work against bacteria?
antibiotics are useful against bacteria because they help to kill off the nasty bacteria or they can also stop the bacteria from reproducing - so the illness doesn't get worse. this then gives your body time to make antibodies which will eventually distroy the bacteria. after this, you won't get the disease again because you are immune to it.
Is penicillin and yeast allergy linked?
Yes. It is very common to get yeast infections while taking antibiotics. While these specific medicines are great at doing their job killing bacteria in other parts of your body, they can cause problems in other parts.

Can a viruses be cured using antibiotics?
Yes. But only by antiviral antibiotics, not antibacterial or antifungal or antiprotozoal antibiotics. Most antibiotics are antibacterial: such as penicillin, sulfa, cipro, rocephin, etc. The Herpes Simplex virus is a virus that can be attacked by an antibiotic, such as acyclovir. Just as with antibacterial antibiotics, antiviral antibiotics will become less effective over time as the viruses mutate to become more resistant. Therefore, these antibiotics should be used as judiciously as the other types of antibiotics.
