The host cell then will die.
pathogenic bacteria.
Parasitic bacteria typically depend on eukaryotic host cells for nutrients and a suitable environment to grow and reproduce. They may hijack cellular processes to their advantage, leading to various diseases in the host.
Antibodies protect potential host cells. They act against bacteria and viruses.
It is Pathogenic
Bacteria are not dependent on a host. :)
targeting structures found only in bacterial cells and not the host cells
Only Bacteria can reproduce outside of a host.. Bacteria are made of cells

It is Pathogenic
Viruses need host cells to replicate and this cannot be done by growing them like bacteria cells are grown.
The way infectious agents, bacteria, damage their hosts is by eating the host from the inside out. Most bacteria only consume a minute portion of their hosts. It is only a threat and hardly ever gets to be a significant factor in the damage.
Bacteria are able to reproduce on their own while viruses need a host to.
