Question

Which of the following is NOT an antifungal agent?

• A. \( \text{Amphotericin B} \)
• B. \( \text{Ketoconazole} \)
• C. \( \text{Ciprofloxacin} \)
• D. \( \text{Fluconazole} \)

Hint:

Antibiotics like ciprofloxacin treat bacterial infections, while antifungals target fungal pathogens.

Answer 1

The Correct Option is C

Ciprofloxacin is a fluoroquinolone antibiotic, primarily used for bacterial infections rather than fungal diseases. In contrast, amphotericin B, ketoconazole, and fluconazole are potent antifungal agents targeting ergosterol synthesis or fungal membranes. Choosing the appropriate antimicrobial agent depends on the pathogen type.
