The bacterial cell causing the infection is unable to reproduce and instead produces additional phages. [4] Phages are very selective in the strains of bacteria they are effective against. [5] Advantages include reduced side effects and reduced risk of the bacterium developing resistance, since [5] bacteriophages are much more specific than ...
(A) When the host cell is only infected by a giant virus, the latter establishes a cytoplasmic virus factory to replicate and generates new virions, and the host cell is most likely lysed at the end of its replication cycle.
