I was merely challenging the attempt to draw a broad inference between
bacteria and fungi:

So, without a concrete example, I can't see a basis for the inference drawn.
As this very circuitous discussion started with claims that Fumagillin
caused "resistant Nosema", an example of Nosema developing resistance to
Fumagillin would be what is needed here.

But without an example, the claims seem mere speculation, firmly refuted by
decades of field experience.

Funny, no one has asked why one would think an antibiotic (Fumagillin) would
be the best tool to use against a fungus (Nosema).  I've often wondered
this, but I guess it is exactly because fungi are so hard to kill, and
antibiotics exist in such wide variety.
