I guess I did not realize the term “antibiotic” could include antifungal. Looks like there are antifungal antibiotics. I think I was taught that antibiotics are for bacterial infections and antifungals are for fungal infections. Guess I need an update.

No update needed, you were taught correctly. This seems to be a single compound that is both antibiotic and antifungal, and the headline just abbreviated it in a really confusing way.

Thank you. That helps. I tried search but was not clear about it.
