Similarities:
1.Both are very small (measured in nanometers)
2.Both can cause disease, or are pathogens. Although some bacteria do not cause disease.
Smallpox was a virus.
Bacteria are single-celled organisms that can reproduce on their own, while viruses are not cells and rely on a host cell to reproduce. Bacteria are larger in size than viruses and can be treated with antibiotics, whereas viruses are smaller and are typically treated with antiviral medication. Bacteria are living organisms with their own cellular machinery, whereas viruses are considered non-living as they require a host cell to replicate.
Vibrio cholerae is a type of bacteria that causes cholera, a serious intestinal infection. It is not a virus.
A virus that attacks bacteria. -APEX Learning
With a diameter of 220 nanometers, the measles virus is about 8 times smaller than E.coli bacteria.At 45 nm, the hepatitis virus is about 40 times smaller than E.coli.For a sense of how small this is, David R. Wessner, a professor of biology at Davidson College, provides an analogy in a 2010 article published in the journal Nature Education: The polio virus, 30 nm across, is about 10,000 times smaller than a grain of salt. Such differences in size between viruses and bacteria provided the critical first clue of the virus' existence.
A pathogenic bacterium is alive while a virus is not.
It is not. HIV is a virus. It has a completely different make-up from a bacteria. The most important difference between a bacteria and a virus is that a virus does not have the ability to replicate on its own. It needs a host, another cell, to reproduce, unlike bacteria which can reproduce on their own.
Bacteria are not dependent on a host. :)
Bacteria has both DNA and RNA where as Virus has either DNA or RNA

Bacteria have cellular organization and show metabolical reactions.Virus do not.Virus are complementary parasites.
