The fact that viruses can hide very well inside your dna.
What else can I help you with?
What is one property of one virus that makes it difficult to cure viral infections?
Viruses are nonliving and that fact makes it hard for us to come up with antivirals.
Which can be cured virus or bacteria?
Antibiotics can cure almost all bacterial infections. There are a few drugs that can treat viral infections. Many viral infections can be prevented by vaccinations. Many viral infections do not have a cure.
What is one property of viruses that makes it difficult to cure viral infections?
One major problem that makes a viral infection so hard to cure is that they mutate so rapidly. It also hard to find drugs that will work. Tamiflu is an antiviral that acts against an enzyme that the virus needs to break out of the host cell and spread but many viruses are so simple that there are very few ways to stop them.
What types of illnesses do antibiotics cure?
Antibiotics only cure bacterial infections. Antibiotics will not cure a viral infection.
Do anitbiotics cure viruses?
Absolutely NO. Antibiotics are strictly for bacterial infections. Antivirals are used for viruses but do not cure them rather they just inhibit their reproductive abilities.
Can you use amoxicillin for bacterial infections?
Yes, amoxicillin is commonly used to treat bacterial infections such as respiratory infections, ear infections, and urinary tract infections. It works by stopping the growth of bacteria. It is important to take amoxicillin as prescribed by a healthcare provider to ensure effectiveness and minimize the risk of developing antibiotic resistance.
What antibiotic is commonly used to treat viral infections?
There are no antibiotics that are effective against viruses. In fact, they should never be used unless a secondary bacterial infection is present and this is best determined by culturing the drainage, whether it is from the nose, throat, blood, or sputum. Because some Dr.'s have overprescribed antibiotics, many of the common bacteria have developed resistance.
Is there an antibiotic for yellow fever?
There is no single pill to cure typhoid and yellow fever. You have a pill to cure typhoid but no pill to cure the yellow fever. Yellow fever is a viral infection and there is no specific pill for the same.
A child that has not been immunised with the MMR vaccine develops measles suggest a reason why antibiotics will not cure the child of measles?
Measles is a viral infection. Antibiotics treat infections caused by bacteria. Bacteria and viruses are two very different types of germs, and antibiotics will do nothing to cure the measles.
What is one property of viruses that makes it difficult to cure virasl infections?
One major problem that makes a viral infection so hard to cure is that they mutate so rapidly. It also hard to find drugs that will work. Tamiflu is an antiviral that acts against an enzyme that the virus needs to break out of the host cell and spread but many viruses are so simple that there are very few ways to stop them.
Why are antibiotics not used on viral infections?
Antibiotics damage the cell wall of living organism leading to its death. The viruses do not have a cell wall. Antibiotics are produced by bacteria and fungi that treat bacterial infections, not viral infections because viruses use host cells to perform their activities. So, they cannot kill viruses. That's why antibiotics are not effective for viral diseases.
What happens if you take antibiotics to cure a cold?
Antibiotics are of no benefit in trying to treat the common cold or influenza (or any other virus infection). Nothing will happen because antibiotics aren't effective on viruses, which are the microorganisms responsible for the common cold. Antibiotics can kill only bacteria and are used for infections caused by bacteria.They are not a cure for a cold and could even be harmful if taken when not needed. No medication is risk free, and there is no need to waste the money on ineffective attempts to cure a cold. There is no cure for a cold. It must be stopped by your body's immune system, which is typically completed in 7 to 10 days, if the virus is new to your immune system. It is much faster if you have previously encountered the same, or a very similar, virus.Absolutely noting- antibiotics are designed to kill bacteria, not viruses. Colds are caused by viral infections, hence antibiotics have no impact whatsoever. (Some viral infections can be treated with "antivirals", however they are not commonly used to treat colds, since colds generally clear within a week or so anyway).Nothing, because colds are caused by viruses and antibiotics have no effect on viral diseases.
