why is a fungal infection more difficult to get rid of than a bacterial infection? what makes fungi so special?
Bacteria vs. fungi?
Bacteria are prokaryotes, while fungi (and humans) are eukaryotes. It is easier to fight a bacterial infection with drugs because their cellular machinery is very different from ours, while the fungal cellular machinery is more closely related. So designing drugs to kill the fungal cells and not the human cells is tougher.
