This article is about the aqueous solution. For the gas, see hydrogen chloride. Hydrochloric acid is a corrosive, strong mineral acid with many industrial uses. A colorless, highly pungent solution of hydrogen chloride (HCl) in water, when it reacts with an organic base it forms a hydrochloride salt.
Bacteria are intercellular organisms (i.e. they live in-between cells); whereas viruses are intracellular organisms (they infiltrate the host cell and live inside the cell). They change the host cell's genetic material from its normal function to producing the virus itself.
Bacteria do not cause viral diseases like H1N1/09 flu. Viruses are a separate type of sub-microscopic organism that cause disease in animals, people, and plants. The only re â¦ lationship between viruses and bacteria is that they both can generate disease (and both can sometimes be beneficial to man as well).
