Members of the family produce particles that are non-enveloped rigid rods (70-280×10-16 nm). The supercoiled, circular, single-stranded DNA genome of about 4.5-8.3 kb, encodes 4-13 proteins. Viruses of this family infect cell wall-less bacteria, adsorbing to the bacterial surface, replicating their DNA by a rolling-circle mechanism or transposition, and releasing progeny from cells by extrusion, without killing the host. This is a summary of the International Committee on Taxonomy of Viruses (ICTV) Report on the family which is available at ictv.global/report/plectroviridae.
该科病毒粒子为无包膜的刚性杆状（70-280×10-16nm）。约 4.5-8.3kb 的超螺旋、环状、单链 DNA 基因组编码 4-13 种蛋白。该科病毒感染无细胞壁的细菌，通过滚动环机制或转座复制其 DNA，通过挤压将子代从细胞中释放出来，而不杀死宿主。这是国际病毒分类委员会（ICTV）关于该科的报告摘要，可在 ictv.global/report/plectroviridae 上查阅。
