Why antibiotics can be usful in treating bacterial diseases but not in treating viral diseases?
Antibiotics kill the bacteria but not the people by affecting parts of the bacterial system that humans do not share. Viruses use the person's own systems to do most functions and so not have the same or as many targets for the drugs. There are some antiviral drugs but now as many as antibiotics.

The types of drugs that can kill bacteria are called 'antibiotics'.
