No antibiotics is effective against viruses.

All the anti bacterial antibiotics target specifically bacterial cells. These antibiotics never work against Viruses. Because viruses are very different from bacteria, they are intracellular parasites.

For viruses we have antiviral drugs which specifically work against particular virus.

⇒ Antibiotics are commonly use to block biochemical pathways which is important for bacteria.

⇒ Many Bacteria make cell wall to protect themselves.

⇒ The antibiotic penicillin blocks the bacterial processes that build the cell wall.

⇒ As a result, The growing bacteria are unable to make cell wall and die easily.

⇒ But viruses do not use this path ways therefore antibiotic do not work against viral infection.
