You do realize that those are bacteriophages correct? As in they kill bacteria..they dont attack people, its completely safe for us. So safe in fact that hospitals are starting to use them because they are so good at killing bacteria =).

A bacteriophage will NEVER infect a eukaryotic cell. Besides, how would a bacteriophage get past our membranes? It's impossible, the receptor sites aren't coded for eukaryotics.

The Russians used to use them as an antibacterial therapy before antibiotics where widespread. Neat animation.

@IvanderHaisley if by recognize you mean don't harm then yes. the parts which look like legs at the bottom are tail fibres that will clasp only to bacteria and there are different ranges of infectable bacteria per bacteriophage species.

[IvanderHaisley]

@cusousa so ... they don't recognize our cells ?

@floodboy55

Dude... that's not how infections work.

[floodboy55]

@cusousa actually, they can harm us. they infect the bacteria which then infect our cells so basically they infect us both. . .THE INFECTION HAS BEEN DOUBLED!
