Explanation:

Viruses don't have cell walls that can be attacked by antibiotics; instead they are surrounded by a protective protein coat. Unlike bacteria, which attack your body's cells from the outside, viruses actually move into, live in and make copies of themselves in your body's cells.

Answer:

Most bacterial diseases can be treated with antibiotics, although antibiotic-resistant strains are starting to emerge. Viruses pose a challenge to the body's immune system because they hide inside cells.

Explanation:

Compared to other pathogens, such as bacteria, viruses are minuscule. And because they have none of the hallmarks of living things — a metabolism or the ability to reproduce on their own, for example — they are harder to target with drugs.
