Virus and Bacteria Characteristic

There are big different of bacteria and viruses characteristic, because bacteria and virus are different. Bacteria divided into two kind if base on the human body respect, there gut bacteria that help our body metabolism like to digest food on our intestine and bad bacteria that more detrimental to human body.

Bacteria infection usually easily to kill, just using antibiotics bacteria can kill on our body. Bacteria also can prevent from immunization because our body build serum to attack bacteria that enter to our body.

Viruses are more smaller than bacteria, even viruses can enter bacteria cell and infected the bacteria. Viruses just can reproduce inside the host living cell and it is very difficult to kill. Virus disease just can be killed by our body that produce antibody to attack viruses. Antibody that build by our body just can function specifically, certain antibody just can kill certain viruses, so if there is new kind of viruses on our body this can’t kill the virus. Many kind of antibody can be built by certain immunization so we need many kind of immunization to build many kind of antibody to attack many kind of viruses.

Bacteria can spread to other body by direct contact with the patient or direct contact through certain tool that have used by patient infected by bacteria. One bacteria can bloom by split their cell become 500,000 or more within just eight hours.

Viruses can spread through other body by direct or indirect contact to the patient. At present there is antiviral drugs against a few viral diseases such as influenza, herpes, hepatitis B and C. But other viral infection such as measles, mumps, hepatitis A and B are prevented with immunization. A virus can replicate its genetics material inside a host cell that cell is so full it bursts, and the viral pour out and invade other cells. Our body much harder to fight viral infection than bacterial infection.
