Answer:

Antibiotics are effective in controlling microbes as they obstruct the metabolism of microbes. Antibiotics block the biosynthetic pathways of the microbes. However, viruses have very few biochemical mechanisms of their own and utilise the biosynthetic pathways of the host. Hence, viruses are not affected by antibiotics.
