Viruses vs bacteria: what are the differences?
Viruses and bacteria are fundamentally different despite some similarities. Bacteria are living unicellular organisms with independent metabolism, while viruses are non-living entities that require host cells for replication. Bacteria can be beneficial, aiding human health, whereas viruses are mostly pathogenic. Both can be used in biotechnology for medical advancements.
