Bacteriophages are viruses that infect bacteria. In addition to viral genes in their genome, they may also contain bacterial genes that can be transferred from one host cell to another host cell. This is called transduction, a topic from earlier in the semester. Sometimes the bacterial gene transferred to a new host codes for a toxin, giving the host cell a new weapon. Because genes code for proteins the type of toxin delivered by a bacteriophage must be an exotoxin
