Antibiotics work by disrupting cellular processes that bacteria need to survive, thereby killing them. Viruses aren’t alive. They aren’t cells so they don’t have any cellular functions to disrupt and they aren’t even alive so they don’t have any biological processes to disrupt. There’s nothing that an antibiotic can do to them. You can’t starve something that doesn’t need to eat, and you can’t burn something that’s not flammable.
