Does Bacteria have viruses?
Yes, bacteria can be infected by viruses called bacteriophages. Bacteriophages are specific to infecting bacteria and can inject their genetic material into a bacterial cell, causing it to replicate and produce more viruses. This process eventually leads to the lysis, or bursting, of the bacterial cell, releasing more viruses to infect other bacteria.
How are viruses different from bacteria Apex?
Viruses cannot survive outside a host. -apex
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 is a virus that attacks bacteria?
A bacteriophage: It literally means bacteria + to eat; these viruses were discovered to generate regions of clear plaques with no bacterial growth when placed on an agar plate covered by a lawn of bacteria.
What type of virus invades bacteria?
A bacteriophage is a virus that infects and replicates within bacteria. It injects its genetic material into the bacterial cell, taking over the cell's machinery to produce new phages.
Why is it important that a new vaccine be produced every year?
to avoid development of resistance of strain of bacteria or viruses.

Bacteriophages are viruses that attack and destroy?
Bacteria by injecting their genetic material into the bacterial cells, which causes the cells to produce more viruses until they burst, releasing new viruses to infect other bacteria. Bacteriophages are being researched as a potential alternative to antibiotics for treating bacterial infections.

how are new viruses produced How might this process cause harm to the infected cell?
All viruses kill they cells that they infect. If not right away then later.
How do viruses reproduce compared to bacteria?
Viruses replicate inside body cells, using the host cell to do the work and provide the materials for reproduction. Bacteria reproduce outside body cells and, since, unlike viruses, they are living organisms, bacteria are able to do the work and production of new bacteria without a need for a host.A description of the 'Lytic Cycle', the process that some types of viruses follow in reproduction, is given in the related questions below for more detail of the process of reproduction of some viruses inside body cells.
What is the new strain of bacteria produced biotech in alcoholic industry?
escherichia coli
What is a virus that attacks bacteria?

How do you explain how copies of viruses are produced?
Viruses replicate by hijacking host cells and using their machinery to make copies of themselves. Once inside a host cell, the virus releases its genetic material, which then directs the host cell to produce viral proteins and assemble new viral particles. These new virus particles can then infect other cells and continue the replication cycle.
What type of virus invades bacteria?
A bacteriophage is a virus that infects and replicates within bacteria. It injects its genetic material into the bacterial cell, taking over the cell's machinery to produce new phages.
Is salmonella a virus?
No. They are bacteria. Viruses are non-living particles. They make you sick by landing on a living cell, reproducing using the cell, and then destroying the cell. The new viruses do the same. Bacteria are living single-celled organisms. The few that make you sick (about 1/15 of bacteria are pathogenic, meaning make you sick) make you sick by taking the nutrients out of other living cells. So, technically, since bacteria and viruses are completely different things, I don't think there's a such thing as a bacterial virus as one organism
