as far as I remember, Bacteria make spore to resist and protect themselves from advrse environmental conditions, but forming spore in Fungus is just a step of their reproduction, both sexual and asexual; so bacterial spore is more resistant to harsh conditions rather than fungal spores.

∙ 14y agoThe difference between a fungal infection and a bacterial infection is the cause. A fungal infection is caused by fungi, whereas a bacterial infection is caused by bacteria. Fungus must be treated by fungicide. Bacterial infection requires antibiotics.

∙ 9y agoThey produce the same effect (pneumonia) but the treatments are different. A bacterial pneumonia requires an antibiotic. Sputum should be tested first to see which bacteria it is. An antifungal will be used for the fugal pneumonia. This is much harder to treat and takes a longer time to cure.
