Question
Chapter 18, Problem 32A
Summary Introduction
To describe:
The reason why is it easier to make the antibacterial drugs, but not antiviral drugs.
Introduction:
Pathogens are the organisms that are able to infect a host organism and cause disease. The bacteria and the viruses are such pathogens.
Expert Solution & Answer
Explanation of Solution
The viruses are small and less complex in comparison of the bacteria. Due to their small size lass complexity, it is easier for the virus to mutate and survive in the changing environment. So, when a virus encounters an antiviral drug or antibody, it gets mutated and which makes it infectious again. However, bacteria do not mutate so fast, so, it is easy to make vaccine or medicine against the bacteria.
