Quizplus · Accepted Answer

Flucytosine (also known as 5-fluorocytosine or 5-FC) is an antifungal medication that can be used to treat candidiasis. It works by interfering with fungal DNA synthesis and inhibiting fungal protein synthesis, leading to fungal cell death. Penicillin is an antibiotic that targets bacterial cell walls, and would not be effective against fungal infections like candidiasis. Guanine, uracil, and thymine are nucleotides that are building blocks of DNA and RNA, but they would not be effective as antifungal agents.
