    • Fun Facts

  • They’re being used as an alternative to antibiotics in treating human bacterial infections, in a process called phage therapy. Phage therapy has an advantage over antibiotics because bacteria haven’t developed resistance to it like they have to antibiotics.
  • T4 is about 120 x 86 nanometers. That’s six thousand times smaller than a grain of coffee!
  • Bacteriophages were used to treat bacterial infections, like gangrene and dysentery, during World War II. That’s even earlier than antibiotics!
