Escherichia virus T3, also called bacteriophage T3 and T3 phage, is a bacteriophage capable of infecting susceptible bacterial cells, including strains of Escherichia coli. This phage is closely related to T7 phage in structure and genome.[1][2] T3 has some distinct properties when compared to T7, including differences in capsid maturation and the ability to escape F-plasmid mediated exclusion.[3][4]
