With lytic phages such as the T4 phage, bacterial cells are broken open (lysed) and destroyed after immediate replication of the virion. As soon as the cell is destroyed, the phage progeny can find new hosts to infect. [13] Lytic phages are more suitable for phage therapy. Some lytic phages undergo a phenomenon known as lysis inhibition, where ...
Plaque exhibiting bacterial lawn with clearings made by Artharobacter phage GantcherGoblin.. The Actinobacteriophage database, more commonly known as PhagesDB, is an interactive, comprehensive, database-backed website that collects and shares information related to the discovery, characterization and genomics of viruses that typically infect Actinobacterial hosts.

Even engineered phages and induced artificial internalization of phages into mammalian cells do not result in phage propagation. [115] Natural transcytosis of unmodified phages, that is, uptake and internal transport to the other side of a cell, which was observed in human epithelial cells, did not result in phage propagation or cell damage. [116]
Dating back to the 1940s and continuing today, T-even phages are considered the best studied model organisms. Model organisms are usually required to be simple with as few as five genes. Yet, T-even phages are in fact among the largest and highest complexity virus, in which these phage's genetic information is made up of around 300 genes.
Last year doctors offered to treat Horton’s infection with one of nature’s oldest predators — tiny tripod-looking viruses called phages designed to find, attack and gobble up bacteria.
T-phages are a class of 7 dsDNA bacteriophages that infect E. coli. They include the T-even and the T-odd phages. ... Text is available under the Creative Commons ...
Temperate phages (such as lambda phage) can reproduce using both the lytic and the lysogenic cycle. [4] How a phage decides which cycle to enter depends on a variety of factors. [5] For instance, if there are several other infecting phages (or if there is a high multiplicity), it is likely that the phage will use the lysogenic cycle.
