Yes, antiviral drugs are designed to inhibit viral replication by targeting specific stages of the viral life cycle. They can interfere with viral entry into host cells, inhibit viral enzymes essential for replication, or prevent the assembly and release of new viral particles. By disrupting these processes, antiviral drugs help reduce the viral load in the body and alleviate the severity of the infection.

Prions are not susceptible to antibacterial or antiviral drugs because they are not living organisms like bacteria or viruses. Prions are misfolded proteins that cause other proteins to misfold, leading to disease. They are resistant to most traditional forms of disinfection or drug treatment.
