Bacteria are unicellular organisms that are a few micrometers long and have many shapes - curved rods, rods, spiral, spheres.
Virus us a sub-microscopic particle ranging in size from 20 nm to 300 nm.

Viral DNA is genetic material found in viruses, which can replicate and infect host cells to produce more virus particles. Bacterial DNA is the genetic material found in bacteria, which contains the instructions for the growth, development, and function of the bacterial cell. Viral DNA is typically smaller and simpler than bacterial DNA.
Viruses are (debatably) not alive while bacteria are; meaning they are smaller and require a living host to survive. Bacteria are killed with antibiotics, but viruses are not.
Antiviral immunity targets viruses by recognizing viral antigens and activating immune responses specific to viral infections. Antibacterial immunity targets bacteria by recognizing bacterial antigens and activating immune responses specific to bacterial infections. The mechanisms of immune cell activation, the types of cells involved, and the specific responses generated differ between antiviral and antibacterial immunity.
Viruses, Bacterial, Parasites, Fungal, Worms and Protozoas which one is the smallest?
One is caused by bacteria and the other is caused by viruses. Only bacterial diseases can be successfully treated with antibiotics. Bacteria are alive, viruses are not. Viruses invade bacteria and take over their properties, including the ability to infect.
Even though the symptoms are mostly the same, bacterial diarrhea is caused by bacteria, and viral diarrhea is caused by viruses. This means that the treatment for each is different, since the same medicines do not affect both bacterias and viruses.
Viruses destroy computers,BUT Anti-Viruses destroy viruses.
Bacteria are single-celled organisms that can be seen under a microscope, while viruses are smaller and can only be seen using an electron microscope. Bacteria can reproduce on their own, while viruses need to infect a host cell to replicate. Additionally, antibiotics can treat bacterial infections, but not viral infections.
Viruses that prevent bacterial infections are called as "bacteriophages".
True. Viruses are smaller than bacterial cells. Bacterial cells are living organisms and are much larger in size compared to viruses, which are non-living particles that require a host cell to replicate.
No. Antivirals work to limit the reproduction of viruses, and antibiotics work to kill bacteria. Antivirals do not kill bacteria, and antibiotics do not kill viruses.

Viruses require a living organism to do anything - most especially to reproduce.
Flu and HIV
To understand the difference between bacterial laryngitis and viral, we must first have a good understanding of the difference between bacteria and viruses. Bacteria are living single celled-organisms that can live outside of a living host and multiply on surfaces such as telephones, door handles, counters, etc. Bacteria infect a host and reproduce in order to multiply. Viruses are non-living organisms that infect a host and then "reprogram" the host's cells to do the job of producing more virus. The difference between bacterial laryngitis and viral laryngitis, is bacterial laryngitis is not systemic, meaning that it only attacks one area of the body particularly the larynx (voice box) or immediate surrounding areas of the throat. Whereas viral laryngitis is systemic meaning that it causes other symptoms such as runny nose, congestion, sneezing, coughing, etc. The more "cold-like" symptoms you have, the less likely you are to have the bacterial version of laryngitis. Also, the presence of a fever points more towards bacterial laryngitis than viral. Bacterial laryngitis is highly contagious where viral is not. Bacterial laryngitis can be spread very easily to others because it is an airborne bacteria. So if you suspect that you have the bacterial version of laryngitis, stay away from others and take precautions such as washing your hands and using antibacterial hand sanitizers. The treatment of viral laryngitis is lots of hot, clear fluids such as tea and chicken broth and plenty of rest. Whereas the treatment of bacterial laryngitis is antibiotics perscribed from your doctor.
