Answers

Answered by jaspottergead

Curing a viral infection. 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.

Antibiotics hinder in the process of cell membrane formation eventually killing the bacteria or any other microorganism. Viruses don't have a cell membrane and therefore are not affected by antibiotics.
