A bacteriophage is a virus that infects bacteria cells.
Bacterium and yeast bateriophage are commonly used microbes.
A bacteriophage is a type of virus that infects and replicates within bacteria. It injects its genetic material into a bacterial cell, hijacks the cell's machinery to produce more phages, and eventually causes the cell to burst, releasing new phages to infect other cells. Bacteriophages have potential applications in treating bacterial infections as an alternative to antibiotics.

The general structure of a bacteriophage includes a head, tail sheath, and tail fiber. It uses its tail fibers to bind to a receptor site of a bacteria cell.
Bacteriophage is a type of virus that infects bacteria. It uses its protein capsid to inject its genetic material into a bacterial cell and replicate. Pilus is a structure found on bacteria that can be used for conjugation, the transfer of genetic material between bacterial cells.

Transduction involves the transfer of bacterial DNA from one bacterium to another using a bacteriophage as a vector, whereas normal bacteriophage infection results in the lysis of the host bacterium after replication. Transduction is a form of horizontal gene transfer that can transfer genetic material such as antibiotic resistance genes between bacteria, while normal bacteriophage infection primarily involves viral replication and host cell lysis.
