Both bacteria and viruses are creatures that are too small to be seen with the naked eye and cause infectious diseases in humans.
We generally call these creatures microbes. Bacteria are larger creatures than viruses, they can survive on their own in the external environment.
On the other hand, viruses cannot live on their own, they must settle in the cells of the living creature they infect in order to survive.
Infectious diseases caused by bacteria antibiotics While viruses are controlled by treatment, viruses are only controlled by the body's own defense mechanism.
The number of drugs that can be used against viruses is very limited, antibiotics are of no use. In fact, since antibiotics also kill beneficial bacteria in the body, they lead to increased resistance in disease-causing bacteria. This causes diseases to progress more severely. For this reason, antibiotics should not be used without consulting a doctor.
