Why do antibiotic work against bacteria but not viruses?
It is certainly possible to find a toxic cemical that kills everything, which would include bacteria, viruses, and us as well. The whole trick of antibiotics is to find something that does kill bacteria but doesn't harm the person whose bacterial infection we are treating. In order to do this we have to find some chemical reaction that bacteria use in their normal metabolic processes, but that people do not use. So antibiotics are very closely tailored to the specific biochemistry of target bacteria. Viruses have quite different biochemistry.
