Miconazole is an antifungal that works by causing holes in the fungal cell membranes that are essential for their survival, thereby killing fungi. Neomycin is an antibiotic that inhibits the production of essential proteins required for bacterial growth, thereby killing the bacteria and clearing the infection.
