Q:	Antibiotics like azithromycin act against bacteria by binding and inhibiting their ribosomes. Antimycotics used against fungi generally avoid targeting ribosomes because:

fungal ribosomes are more resilient than bacterial ribosomes.

fungal ribosomes are much more similar to human ribosomes than bacterial ribosomes are to human ribosomes.

fungi do not use ribosomes, so targeting them would have no effect.

fungi cell walls prevent entry of antimycotics, so other means of infection treatment are necessary.
