Detailed explanation-1: -Bacterial and viral infections have many things in common. Both types of infections are caused by microbes (bacteria and viruses) and are spread by things such as coughing and sneezing, contact with infected people, surfaces, food, water, pets, livestock, or insects such as fleas and ticks.
Detailed explanation-2: -Viruses and bacteria have a number of characteristics in common. Both are microscopic. Although both vary in size, they are too small to be visible to the naked eye. Both carry genetic material and both lack membrane-bound organelles.
Detailed explanation-3: -A virus is not a living organism and can only grow and reproduce in the cells of a host. Bacteria, by contrast, are single-celled organisms that produce their own energy and can reproduce on their own. While both can cause disease, bacteria also serve other vital and healthful roles in nature.
Detailed explanation-4: -Bacteria and Viruses are quite different from each other. Bacteria live in nature whereas Viruses can thrive both in living and nonliving habitats. Bacteria can survive without a host but Viruses will die without a host. Bacteria reproduce through binary fission and Viruses reproduce through lytic fission.
