Why antibiotics not helpfull in viral
  • 1 answers

Yogita Ingle 6 years, 9 months ago

  • Antibiotics act by blocking the biochemical pathways of the bacteria and the bacteria eventually dies.
  • For example- Penicillin is an antibiotic. It stops the cell wall formation of the bacteria. It blocks the chemical reaction required for cell wall formation.
  • Viruses do not have such biochemical pathway of their own, instead they utilise the machinery of host cell to complete their life cycle.​

Therefore, antibiotics are not effective against viruses.
