Everything that everyone said above me. Bacteria and Viruses are very different. They respond to a different classes of medications entirely. Bacteria can be stopped from multiplying and can be killed. A virus can be stopped from multiplying but not killed by medications.
Do you have anything specific in mind when you ask the question?

Antibiotics do not work with viral infections, but only with bacterial infections. Antivirals are used to treat viral infections.
