A virus is smaller than a bacterium. Bacteria are typically larger and more complex than viruses, which are much smaller and require a host cell to replicate.
Fungi are larger than viruses. Fungi are complex multicellular organisms, while viruses are much smaller and can only replicate inside the cells of living organisms.
Virus
A bacteriophage is a virus that infects and replicates within bacteria. It injects its genetic material into a bacterial cell, taking over the cell's machinery to produce more virus particles. Bacteriophages are being studied for their potential use in treating bacterial infections as an alternative to antibiotics.
