Similarities:
1.Both are very small (measured in nanometers)
2.Both can cause disease, or are pathogens. Although some bacteria do not cause disease.
Differences:
1.Bacteria are present everywhere, including the human body.
2.Viruses need a host cell in order to live. They cannot replicate without a host cell.
3.Diseases caused by bacteria need antibiotics in order to rid the body of the bacteria.
While, viruses are not susceptible to antibiotics but they can sometimes be prevented by vaccines.
4. Bacteria have both DNA and RNA, while, viruses have DNA or RNA.
5. Bacteria are living organisms, while viruses are nonliving (Some scientists argue that viruses are living.
Bacteria and virus
Influenza is a virus. It is a respiratory virus that infects the nose, throat, and sometimes the lungs. It is not caused by bacteria or fungi.
A virus is typically the smallest of these three biological entities, as it is much smaller than bacteria and fungi. Viruses are even smaller than the smallest bacteria and fungi, and can only replicate inside the cells of a living host organism.
Measles is caused by a virus.
Yes, athlete's foot is caused by a fungus.

Measles is caused by a virus.
No. A bacteriophage is a virus that attacks bacteria.
Yes, athlete's foot is caused by a fungus.
Measles is neither a fungi nor a bacteria; it is a highly contagious viral infection caused by the measles virus.
The four broad types of pathogens are bacteria, viruses, fungi, and parasites. Each type of pathogen can cause various diseases and illnesses in humans and other organisms.
