===Fungal===
{{Main|Pathogenic fungi}}
Fungi are a eukaryotic kingdom of microbes that are usually [[saprophyte]]s, but can cause diseases in humans. Life-threatening fungal infections in humans most often occur in immunocompromised patients or vulnerable people with a weakened immune system, although fungi are common problems in the immunocompetent population as the causative agents of skin, nail, or yeast infections. Most antibiotics that function on bacterial pathogens cannot be used to treat fungal infections because fungi and their hosts both have eukaryotic cells. Most clinical fungicides belong to the [[Azole|azole group]]. The typical fungal spore size is 1-40 micrometers in length.<ref>{{cite journal | vauthors = Köhler JR, Casadevall A, Perfect J | title = The spectrum of fungi that infects humans | journal = Cold Spring Harbor Perspectives in Medicine | volume = 5 | issue = 1 | pages = a019273 | date = November 2014 | pmid = 25367975 | pmc = 4292074 | doi = 10.1101/cshperspect.a019273 }}</ref>
