Bacteriophages, also known as phages, are viruses that infect and replicate only in bacterial cells. They are extremely diverse in size, morphology, and genomic organization. However, all consist of a nucleic acid genome incased in a shell of phage-encoded capsid proteins, which protect the genetic material and mediate its delivery into the next host cell.
