Bacteria are single-celled organisms that can live independently and reproduce by dividing, whereas viruses are acellular particles that require a host cell to replicate. Bacteria have a cellular structure with organelles like a cell membrane and ribosomes, while viruses consist of genetic material (DNA or RNA) encased in a protein coat. Additionally, bacteria can be killed by antibiotics, whereas viruses are not affected by antibiotics and require antiviral medications.
It happens as our body do not have anti-bodies [ means the copy of the virus to make a trap for it ], but in bacterial it is done just by destroying as the bacteria do not conquer a tissue or a cell to make their army.
Bacteriophages are viruses that infect bacteria.
-viruses and alive but bacteria is -viruses spread but dont multiply or change in your body, bacteria are alive and are often evolving -viruses cannot be treated, but bacteria can be eliminated with chemincals and anitbiotics
Bacteria are able to reproduce on their own while viruses need a host to.
viruses are non living and bacteria are living organisms
no bacteria is larger than viruses
there are some bacteria that approach the size of larger viruses but, viruses are smaller than bacteria
Viruses are much smaller than bacteria. Bacteria are typically 10 to 100 times larger than viruses.

Viruses differ from bacteria, fungi, and parasites in that they cannot reproduce independently; they require a host cell to replicate. While bacteria and fungi can divide and reproduce on their own through processes like binary fission or budding, viruses hijack the host's cellular machinery to produce new viral particles. Additionally, parasites are typically multicellular organisms that can reproduce sexually or asexually within or outside a host, whereas viruses are acellular and rely entirely on their host's biological processes for replication.
bacteria causes viruses 2nd Answer: My apologies, but the first answer is totally untrue. Both bacteria and viruses can cause disease, but bacteria are alive, and viruses are not. They both contain RNA/DNA to assure they are replicated correctly.
