Phage–bacteria infection networks
... Phages can infect individual hosts from different species and even different genera, as in the case of cyanophages infecting Prochlorococcus and Synechococcus [11]. In some cases, a given phage may infect only one strain of bacteria from a given sample. However, cross-infection is commonly observed ...
