Bacteria and viruses are the most common causes of disease in humans. When you touch a surface, shake hands, or are exposed to someone's sneeze, you come into contact with new bacteria — and potentially new viruses — which can enter the body when you touch your mouth, nose, or eyes.

Here's what you need to know about the difference between bacteria and viruses, how to prevent their spread, and how to treat bacterial or viral infections if you have them.

The biological difference between bacteria and viruses

Bacteria are single-celled organisms that live all around us — including inside our gut. Most bacteria aren't harmful, and some are even protective. However, a small percentage can be harmful and cause illness.

Viruses are parasitic, which means they need a live host in order to survive. Viruses infect the cells of living beings, including humans, and can cause diseases like the common cold or AIDS. Although most viruses are potentially harmful, some can actually be beneficial.
