How are the functions of vaccines and antibiotics different?

Antibodies

l They are what your body produces in response to the presence of antigens (bacterial or viral surface structures)

l They merely assist your white blood cells in identifying

l Also they also destroy and invade the unidentified microorganisms.

Antibiotics

l They are chemicals that work to destroy invading bacteria (usually by disrupting the outer cell wall and making it "leak" or by messing up the bacteria's metabolic processes. They are not produced by the body)

l Antibiotics can be antibacterial or antiviral. Antibacterial will only destroy bacteria and antiviral will only destroy viruses. There are not many antibiotics for viruses. Also a virus is not a eukaryote.
