Antibiotics are produced by microorganisms to kill or control the growth of other microorganisms by blocking specific metabolic pathways within the cell. ... Instead they rely on a host cell (a human cell) to carry out these processes for them.

Here's ur answer:-
Antibiotics are derived from certain bacteria and fungi and thus help to soothe the diseases which are caused by same kind of organisms.Viruses are mostly inactive and they are generally more powerful than bacteria.Hence,the viruses cannot be killed by antibiotics.
