Bacteria is live and a virus is not. This also means that only a bacteria infection or illness can be killed with antibiotics.
Similarities:1.Both are very small (measured in nanometers)2.Both can cause disease, or are pathogens. Although some bacteria do not cause disease.
Actinomices is a real bacteria
Yeast is a fungi, bacteria is a moneran.
A bacteria is a unicellular microorganism while a virus is a submicroscopic particle.
As simple as that a viral infection is caused by a virus and a bacterial infection is caused by a bacteria.

The mimivirus
A pathogenic bacterium is alive while a virus is not.
It is not. HIV is a virus. It has a completely different make-up from a bacteria. The most important difference between a bacteria and a virus is that a virus does not have the ability to replicate on its own. It needs a host, another cell, to reproduce, unlike bacteria which can reproduce on their own.
Bacteria are not dependent on a host. :)
Easy answer: Bacteria are alive and viruses probably are not.
Bacteria has both DNA and RNA where as Virus has either DNA or RNA
A virus that infects bacteria is called a bacteriophage
Bacteria and virus
Bacteriophage is the virus that infects bacteria
