Unlikely.: The fungi and molds that cause disease and environmental allergies are not at all closely related to antibiotics. Mold-based antibiotic production has mostly given way to synthetic production, and there are a lot more "parts" of a fungus to which one can be allergic than just the antimicrobial part. Avoid unnecessary antibiotics as a rule; don't avoid any specific ones based on this new info.
