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.
but why don t antibiotics kill viral infections and how can overuse of an antibiotic lead to antibiotic resistance simply put antibiotics cannot kill viruses because viruses have different structures and replicate in a different way than bacteria antibiotics work by targeting the growth machinery in bacteria not viruses to kill or inhibit those particular bacteria
