Re: [Everything doTERRA] antibiotics, bacteria and fungus

 Except for mycoplasma, all bacteria feature a rigid cell wall surrounding their cell membrane. Fungi also have a cell wall. However, the main component of the bacterial cell wall is peptidoglycan, while chitin is predominant in fungal cell walls. Thus, antibiotics, which inhibit the formation of peptidoglycan, do not affect fungi.

We have all been taught that antibiotics kill off all bacteria, good and bad, so avoid them. However, aren't fungi also "biotics" since they are living organisms?  Why then do not the antibiotics also kill them?  If this were the case, the fungus (like candida) could not get out of control when taking antibiotics which is what we are told.  This has never been explained to my satisfaction.  Does anybody know?  Barb
