Which viruses do antibiotics kill?
Antibiotics are the chemicals produced by microorganisms to inhibit the growth of other microorganisms. most of the antibiotics are produced by fungi. Very few are produces by bacteria.

Diseases are caused by microorganisms?
The majority of diseases are caused by microorganisms (mostly bacteria, but sometimes viruses) which enter a person's body and launch an attack on their cells. Depending on the person, diseases may also be caused by stress-induced situations, as your immune system does not function well when you are undfer stress, and will therefore not be effective against fighting diseases as well as a person with a healthy immune system. Bacteria and Viruses are transferred through the air or environment, or an open wound in the skin; although, when exposed to bacteria or viruses which your body has developed an immunity to, you will not show signs of infection.
