Abstract
In recent years considerable attention has been focused on a group of organisms known as bacterial viruses or bacteriophages. These minute virus particles are parasitic upon bacterial cells and probably most bacteria are susceptible to one or more of them. There are several excellent reviews and symposia covering the various steps of bacteriophage multiplication and the effects of inhibiting agents. The reader is referred to them for an explanation of the process involved in attachment to and multiplication within the host cell.
