A virus is a parasite unable to replicate autonomously. Since viruses do not have their own metabolism so are not responsive to antibiotics. However, vaccines are available to protect against a number of them.

What is a micro-organism virus?

A virus is a very small creature and can not be seen by the naked eye. They can only be seen with the aid of a microscope. Their size is so small that their size can only be measured in micro-meters. The organism which is so small and is measured in micros are known as micro organisms 2. Some purists would have that since a virus does not contain organs, it is not an organism. It certainly does not enjoy an independent life.
