Explanation:
Detailed explanation-1: -Antibiotics damage the cell wall of living organisms leading to their death. The viruses do not have a cell wall. Antibiotics are produced by bacteria and fungi that treat bacterial infections, not viral infections because viruses use host cells to perform their activities. So, they cannot kill viruses.
Detailed explanation-2: -Viruses are unaffected by antibiotics because they do not have peptidoglycan cell walls or ribosomes, and they do not replicate their own DNA. Bacteria can become resistant to antibiotics through the process of selection and evolution.
