Summary Introduction

To review:

The reason as to why the development of antibiotics instead of antiviral drugs is more effective and feasible to treat the bacterial infections.

Introduction:

Antibacterial drugs are also called as antibiotics. These drugs kill the bacteria and slow down their growth rate. Antibacterial drugs are either synthesized de-novo or derived from molds and bacteria. On the other hand, antiviral drugs are used to slow down the growth rate of viruses, especially flu viruses. Antiviral drugs are usually produced from a plant’s extract.
