Question

Why are antibiotics not effective against viral infections

Answer 1

Explanation:

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

Answer 2

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.
