Bacteriophages can be useful for targeted bacterial infection treatment, known as phage therapy. They can also be used in food safety to kill harmful bacteria, in bacterial detection methods, and as tools for genetic engineering and biotechnology research.
They have tail fibers which attach to the receptors on cell membranes and walls. They then "inject" their DNA into the cell.
