A stylized lateral view shows multiple bacteriophages (phages) attaching to a rod-shaped bacterial cell. In microbiology and virology, this depicts a virus particle (icosahedral capsid with tail) binding receptors on the prokaryotic cell envelope, initiating the lytic infection process. At the cell surface, tail fibers anchor and the tail core prepares to inject viral DNA (deoxyribonucleic acid) into the host cytoplasm. The elements illustrated represent a virus and a bacterial cell within a microbe–virus interaction.
