Antibiotics will kill bacteria, or render them incapable of reproducing; a wide variety is available and can be tailored to most types of bacteria. There are treatments for some viral infections (acyclovir, gancyclovir and AZT are some better-known examples), but they are less effective than antibacterial drugs and are not used for minor illnesses such as the common cold.
