Anti- against Biotic- regarding life

Antibiotics commonly refer to bacteria because they're a more common source of infection than fungal, but your statement is not true, it's an umbrella term encompassing antifungals too.

It's a bit like how 'chemotherapy' encompasses all medicines 'chemicals used as therapy' but there are other connotations because of common usage.
