How do bacteria respond to antibiotics and viruses do not?

Antibiotics can not kill viruses because viruses have different physical structures and are known to replicate in a different way than bacteria.

Antibiotics work by targeting the growth machinery in bacteria and not viruses which kills or inhibit that particular bacteria.

Talking about it structurally, an antibiotic can not kill a virus with a completely different replicating “action”.
