Antibiotics are medications that target bacteria. They work by interfering with bacterial cell wall synthesis, protein synthesis, or other essential processes within the bacterial cell. Viruses, on the other hand, are not cells. They hijack the host cell's machinery to replicate. Most antiviral medications work by inhibiting viral replication processes, but they are often less straightforward and have more limitations compared to antibacterial medications. For example, antibiotics like penicillin can be very effective against many bacterial infections, while viral infections like the common cold (caused by viruses) often have to run their course as there are no direct - acting "cure - all" medications like antibiotics for bacteria.
