No, antibacterials agents are specifically used to fight bacterial infections and do not effect a viral infection in any way.
False. In fact, the prescription of antibiotics for viral infections is suspected as the reason that there is a rise in antibiotic resistant bacteria in the Western world.Antibiotics 'kill' bacterial infections.Antivirals 'kill' viral infections.
Antibacterial are agents used to disinfect surfaces thereby eliminating potentially harmful bacteria. Common agents are alcohols, chlorine, peroxides, and aldehydes. Also, triclosan, triclocarban, and benzalkonium chloride are the longer acting agents we now use for surfaces.

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.
Antiviral immunity targets viruses by recognizing viral antigens and activating immune responses specific to viral infections. Antibacterial immunity targets bacteria by recognizing bacterial antigens and activating immune responses specific to bacterial infections. The mechanisms of immune cell activation, the types of cells involved, and the specific responses generated differ between antiviral and antibacterial immunity.
Viral infections have not been cured. Bacterial infections usually can be.
Bactroban is not effective for viral cold sores.
Both bacterial infections and viral infections can be contagious or not contagious. Some viral infections are not spread from human to human or are only rarely spread that way. TB is a contagious bacterial infection.
Other viral infections may also strike the patient, including croup, bronchitis, laryngitis, or viral pneumonia.

Viral Infections are diagnosed by the presence of the immune systems production of antibodies, viral fighting cells produced specifically for that specific virus.
