malaria is a single-celled protozoan parasite and is not a bacterium. This means it does not have cell walls unlike bacteria. Penicillin and other beta-lactam antibiotics kill bacteria by stopping the repair and remodeling of the bacterial cell wall through inhibition of peptidoglycan synthesis, which is necessary to maintain the cell wall.
Other classes of antibiotics, particularly tetracyclines, however, can work against malaria because they target a function that is present in both bacteria and malaria parasites.

How can you treat typhoid dengue malaria together?
It is very common practice in developing countries to treat the typhoid fever as a case of malaria, specially in the first week. You tell patient that he has malaria. He does not respond to your antimalarial treatment. Then you have no option but to tell the patient that he has got both malaria and typhoid at the same time. The fact is that typhoid is usually difficult to diagnose in the first week of fever. It is always better to rule out the malarial fever by giving the antimalarial treatment in first week of febrile illness.
