Monkey pox is indeed caused by a virus, not bacteria. The virus responsible for monkey pox belongs to the poxviridae family. Unlike bacteria, viruses are tiny infectious agents that replicate inside cells. Antibiotics, which are effective against bacteria, are not typically used to treat viral infections like monkey pox. Diagnosis of monkey pox usually involves laboratory tests such as PCR to identify the virus accurately.
