Human cells are animal cells, which don't have cell walls. Bacteria, fungus and plants, on the other hand, do have cell walls. This is actually a good thing because many antibiotics attack the cell walls of bacteria and weaken them so they will lyse, or rupture. If animal cells had these cell walls, then the antibiotics that we take to kill off bad bacteria would actually hurt us as well.
