Why is it ineffective to treat viral disease with antibiotics? Why is it ineffective to treat viral disease with antibiotics? Pa

thogenic RNA viruses have a high rate of mutation, producing new genetic varieties that are insensitive to antibiotic treatment. Due to excessive antibiotic use, most viruses have evolved to be resistant to antibiotics. Antibiotics inhibit enzymes specific to bacteria and have no effect on virally encoded enzymes.

Answer:

Antibiotics inhibit enzymes specific to bacteria and have no effect on virally encoded enzymes

Explanation:

The specificity of the antibiotics to inhibits some  bacterial enzymes is one of the major reasons why antibiotic do not affect viruses.In addition  antibiotics are designed to  have a significant  destructive  effects on  the mechanisms of biochemical reactions in bacteria and its  physiology, e,g on the cells walls,( inhibiting the formation of peptydoglycans) on certain organelles e,g ribisomes (inhibiting protein synthesis) and on the DNA(disrupting replication). The virus physiology is different from bacteria, therefore the design of antibiotics will nor affect these same mechanisms in viruses, thus no specificity for the antibiotic to act on in virus
