The growth curve according the biotic
potential of and bacteria both
present positive exponential pattern.

The between them is that
each time period bacteria their
population while the population
multiplies dozens or of times.
The viral growth curve thus
has intense growth. This happens
bacteria reproduce by binary
, each cell generating two
cells, while each virus
generating dozens or even
of new viruses.
