At least 4500 bacterial viruses have been examined in the electron microscope since 1959. About 4400 phages (96%) are tailed and only 162 phages (4%) are cubic, filamentous, or pleomorphic. Phages belong to 12 virus families and occur in about 130 bacterial genera. Phages are listed by morphotypes and host genera. Siphoviridae or phages with long, noncontractile tails include about 60% of tailed phages.
自1959年以来,至少4500种细菌病毒已在电子显微镜下被检查。约4400种噬菌体(96%)有尾,只有162种噬菌体(4%)呈立方体形、丝状或多形性。噬菌体属于12个病毒科,存在于约130个细菌属中。噬菌体按形态类型和宿主属列出。长尾噬菌体科或具有长的、不可收缩尾部的噬菌体约占有尾噬菌体的60%。
