How effective are antibiotics against viral infections? Antibiotics can prevent viral entry into the cell by binding to host-receptor proteins. Antibiotics work by inhibiting enzymes specific to bacteria. Antibiotics have no effect on eukaryotic or virally encoded enzymes. Antibiotics activate the immune system, and this decreases the severity of the infection. Antibiotics do not kill viruses because viruses do not have DNA or RNA.

Parasitic infections

A parasite is an organism that lives in the body of another organism and obtains food at the expense of the host. There are two kinds of parasites they are internal and external. An internal parasite lives inside another organism and is known as endoparasite. An external parasite lives on the body surface of the host and is known as an ectoparasite.
