A bacteriophage is a type of virus that infects bacteria. They kill the bacterias by making them burst or lyse. This happens when the virus binds to the bacteria and reproduces inside it. They are directly harmless to humans and are currently used in Phage therapy to treat pathogenic bacterial infections. Image by: https://www.instagram.com/p/CN4K-xcn1Af/?utm_medium=copy_link
