Yes, they are known as bacteriophages, or simply phages.
For example, Enterobacteria phage T4 is a phage which infects the E-Coli bacterium.
Your question should be "Can a virus infect a bacterium?" Yes they can. Viruses are 10 to 100 times smaller than bacteria or in other words, they are submicroscopic parasites. They are the smallest living things known to man.
What else can I help you with?
What virus infect bacteria?
Bacteriophages are viruses that infect and replicate within bacteria. These viruses inject their genetic material into a bacterium, which then uses the bacterium's machinery to produce more phages. This eventually leads to the lysis of the bacterium and release of new phages to infect other bacteria.
A virus that infects bacteria?
A virus that infects bacteria is called a bacteriophage. Bacteriophages inject their genetic material into the bacteria and use the host's machinery to replicate. They are being studied for potential use in treating bacterial infections in humans.
Is Strongyloides a bacteria toxin virus parasite?
Strongyloides is a parasite, specifically a nematode roundworm that can infect humans and animals. It is not a bacteria, toxin, or virus.
A virus that attacks and destroys bacteria is called?
A bacteriophage. Bacteriophages are viruses that infect and replicate within bacteria by injecting their genetic material into the bacterial cell, ultimately causing the cell to burst and release more phages to infect other bacteria.
Some viruses are only able to infect bacteria What is the name of a bacteria-infecting virus?
bacteriophage, your welcome everyone cheating on Study Island. C:
Can a bacteria infect a virus?
No bacteria is huge compared to a virus
Viruses that infect bacteria are called?
the virus that infects bacteria is bacteriophage
What is the virus that has the ability to infect bacteria is called?
Bacteriophage
What virus infect bacteria?
Bacteriophages are viruses that infect and replicate within bacteria. These viruses inject their genetic material into a bacterium, which then uses the bacterium's machinery to produce more phages. This eventually leads to the lysis of the bacterium and release of new phages to infect other bacteria.
What type of virus infect bacteria?
Bacteriophage
Can a virus attack only man?
No they can infect animals, plants, and bacteria.
What are viruses that infect bacteria called?
the virus that infects bacteria is bacteriophage
What is the shape of virus that attacks bacteria?
The shape of a virus that attacks bacteria is typically cylindrical or polyhedral. These viruses that infect bacteria are known as bacteriophages and come in various shapes and sizes.
How does the size of a virus compare with the size of a bacterium?
A virus is much much much smaller then a bacterium. Virus called phage can infect bacteria.
A virus that infects bacteria?
A virus that infects bacteria is called a bacteriophage. Bacteriophages inject their genetic material into the bacteria and use the host's machinery to replicate. They are being studied for potential use in treating bacterial infections in humans.
Is Strongyloides a bacteria toxin virus parasite?
Strongyloides is a parasite, specifically a nematode roundworm that can infect humans and animals. It is not a bacteria, toxin, or virus.
1 type of virus that infects bacteria?
Bacteriophages are viruses that infect bacteria. They may be seen as an alternative to antibiotics and research is examining this.
