DR BRENT GILPIN. A bacteriophage, or a phage, is a virus that infects bacteria, so these don't infect human cells âthey are very specialised and only infect bacteria.So every bacteria is being attacked by various viruses which are using those as the host that they replicate in.SR scientist Dr Brent Gilpin explains that a bacteriophage, or phage, is a virus that infects bacteria. He describes how a phage can be easily detected in the lab by plating bacteria on an agar plate.
The term is derived from bacteria and the Greek: ÏÎ±Î³Îµá¿Î½ (phagein), to devour. Bacteriophages are composed of proteins that encapsulate a DNA or RNA genome, and may have relatively simple or elaborate structures. Their genomes may encode as few as four genes, and as many as hundreds of genes.Phages replicate within the bacterium following the injection of their genome into its cytoplasm.acteriophages may have a lytic cycle or a lysogenic cycle, and a few viruses are capable of carrying out both. With lytic phages such as the T4 phage, bacterial cells are broken open (lysed) and destroyed after immediate replication of the virion.
