There are many differences. Viruses are the smallest and simplest life form known. They are 10 to 100 times smaller than bacteria. The biggest difference between viruses and bacteria is that viruses must have a living host -- like a plant or animal -- to multiply, while most bacteria can grow on non-living surfaces. Also, unlike bacteria, which attack the body like soldiers mounting a battle, viruses are guerilla fighters. They don't attack so much as infiltrate. They literally invade human cells and turn the cell's genetic material from its normal function to producing the virus itself. In addition, bacteria carry all the machinery needed for their growth and multiplication, while viruses carry mainly information -- DNA or RNA, for example. Viruses harness the host cell's machinery to reproduce. In a sense, viruses are not truly "living," but are essentially information floating around until ;encountering a suitable living host.
