Treatment and health care[edit] Bacteria are usually treated with antibiotics while viruses are treated with antiviral compounds. Eukaryotic pathogens are typically not susceptible to antibiotics and thus need specific drugs. Infection with many pathogens can be prevented by immunization.
In fact, taking antibiotics when they are not needed may increase your risk of developing an infection (bacterial) at a later date which is resistant to antibiotics. The CDC (Centers for Disease Control and Prevention) stresses that antibiotics cure bacterial infections, not viral infections such as: colds or flu; most coughs and bronchitis; sore throats not caused by strep; or runny noses.
