Will treating a viral infection with antibiotics change the course of the viral infection? No: antibiotics work by inhibiting enzymes specific to bacteria. Antibiotics have no effect on eukaryotic enzymes or virally encoded enzymes. No: antibiotics do not kill viruses because viruses do not have DNA or RNA. Yes: antibiotics activate the immune system, and this decreases the severity of the infection. Yes; antibiotics can prevent viral entry into the cell by binding to host-receptor proteins.
