Answer:
Antibiotics are useless against viral infections. This is because viruses are so simple that they use their host cells to perform their activities for them. So antiviral drugs work differently to antibiotics, by interfering with the viral enzymes instead.

Explanation:
they are not effective against viruses because

2. antibiotics break the NAG and NAM which are sugars which make chains in cell wall or membrane and viruses lack any membrane.
