Bacteria can be infected by bacteriophages, which are viruses that specifically target bacterial cells. RNA viruses affecting bacteria include the bacteriophage MS2, which can cause issues in E. coli, and the bacteriophage Qβ. DNA viruses include bacteriophages such as Lambda and T4, which can lead to lytic and lysogenic infections in their bacterial hosts. Other notable bacteriophages include T7, M13, and P1, all of which can contribute to various bacterial diseases by disrupting normal cellular functions.
