Bacteria are single-celled, prokaryotic
microorganisms that exist in abundance in both
living hosts and in all areas of the planet (e.g.,
soil, water). By their nature, they can be either
"good" (beneficial) or "bad" (harmful) for the
health of plants, humans, and other animals that
come into contact with them.
A virus is acellular
(has no cell structure) and requires a living host
to survive; it causes illness in its host, which
causes an immune response. Bacteria are alive,
while scientists are not yet sure if viruses are
living or nonliving; in general, they are considered
to be nonliving.

Answer:
Viruses, like the common cold or influenza are not alive and must invade living cells to grow. The body’s own immune system must fight off the virus or let it run its course. Viral infections are usually accompanied by multiple symptoms such as a sore throat, runny nose, congestion, vomiting and diarrhea.
Bacteria are living organisms and can be found everywhere. There are times when the body’s immune system may not be able to fight off a bacterial infection. Antibiotics work to kill the bacteria by stopping its growth. Bacterial infections often go together with pain, aches, or sore areas of the body.
