Question

Can viruses be killed by antibiotics?

Answer 1

Antibiotics

1. Antibiotics are medications that cure bacterial illnesses in both people and animals.
2. They work by either killing germs or preventing them from growing and multiplying.
3. Antibiotics can be administered in a number of ways, including: tablet, capsule, or liquid form.
4. Antibiotics are unable to kill viruses because they differ in structure from bacteria.
5. Antibiotics either target the bacterial growth mechanism or break down the bacterial cell wall.
6. Since viruses don't have a cell wall, their genetic material is contained inside their protein coat.
7. Viruses don't replicate themselves; instead, they make several copies of themselves using the machinery of the host.
