Answer #1

Bacteria are prokaryotic in nature, having cellular structures and metabolism vastly different from their hosts, who are eukaryotes. Drugs are easily synthesized against these targets. But fungi or protozoa are eukaryotes like their hosts, thus targeting their system might adversely effect their hosts. Thus it is easier to synthesize antibacterial drugs than antifungal or antiprotozoal ones.
