What is the difference between a bacteria and a virus?

Both are considered microorganisms but viruses are arguably not living organisms as they cannot reproduce without living hosts . Apart from this, viruses are much smaller than bacteria and differ in terms of cell structure eg: viruses do not have a cell wall. Also, diseases caused by viruses cannot be treated with antibiotics but bacterial diseases can.
