IMMUNOLOGY

Detailed explanation-1: -Why don’t antibiotics work on viruses? Viruses are different to bacteria; they have a different structure and a different way of surviving. Viruses don’t have cell walls that can be attacked by antibiotics; instead they are surrounded by a protective protein coat.

Detailed explanation-2: -Antibiotics DO NOT work on viruses, such as those that cause colds, flu, or COVID-19. Antibiotics also are not needed for many sinus infections and some ear infections. When antibiotics aren’t needed, they won’t help you, and the side effects could still cause harm.

Detailed explanation-3: -Antibiotics cannot kill viruses because viruses have different structures and replicate in a different way than bacteria. Antibiotics are produced by microorganisms to kill or control the growth of other microorganisms by blocking specific metabolic pathways within the cell.

Detailed explanation-4: -If the virus comes back, the bacterium makes RNA from the region of CRISPR specific for that virus. These RNA copies pair up with some cas (CRISPR-associated) proteins. The RNA guides the cas protein to the invading viral DNA, so the protein can destroy it. No more viral DNA, no new viruses.

Detailed explanation-5: -The drugs used for viral infection are Acyclovir (Zovirax), famciclovir (Famvir), and valacyclovir (Valtrex) are effective against herpesvirus, including herpes zoster and herpes genitalis. Drugs used for treatment for viral fever are Acetaminophen(Tylenolothers)ibuprofen (Advil, motrin IB others).
