    Isn’t the bacteriophage, kind of a good guy virus ? Or is there other viruses with this distinctive shape ?

      As far as I know it’s kind of a good guy virus but I think it’s very specialised on what kind of bacteria it kills so maybe there is a variant that kills all the good bacteria in us. And that can’t be too good, I imagine.
