Viruses infect living things by entering host cells, replicating within them, and causing damage to the cells.

What is bateriophage?
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.
