This - nearly all antibiotics target parts of the bacterial cell that humans don't have. Antifungals have the problem that many of their targets are shared between eukaryotic fungal cells and our own. Chemotherapy agents have a huge problem in that they are targeting cells that used to be our own. It's a race between toxic to cancer cells and toxic to the rest of you.
