Not all antibiotics will have a benzene ring, besides benzene is carcinogenic, and some penicillin's will be metabolised into penicillamine which depletes the body of metals including copper, useful for treating Wilsons Disease.

Low copper leads to lower levels of interleukin 6, which is a particularly useful part of the immune system for targeting some cancers, ergo some antibiotics with their benzene ring and copper chelating properties, increases the risk of cancer...
I know antibiotics are a hot topic for a variety of reasons, including the fact that livestock fed antibiotics increase muscle mass, perhaps this is why here in the UK Redbull and other taurine rich energy drinks are banned to under 16yr olds on the pretence the caffeine is the greater enemy, because they dont want stacked as in muscular teenagers running around.

I think this also shows that what constitutes an antibiotic varies enormously, unless the definition of an antibiotic is one that includes the carcinogenic benzene ring?
Surprised you haven't mentioned how vitamin K1 disrupts bacterial biofilms, and is particularly useful for tackling pseudomonas, a particularly nasty and stubborn bacteria. Of course its not classed as an antibiotic, its classed as a vitamin, but even the definition of vitamins are being called into doubt when considering pathways that exist in the body, they werent known when the definition of vitamin or "vital amine" were agreed, so maybe the medical profession need to update their terminology in order to not mislead the public en-masse?
