A typical bacteriophage, which is a virus that infects bacteria, generally ranges in size from about 20 to 200 nanometers in diameter. Most fall within the 50 to 100 nanometer range. Their size can vary depending on the specific type of bacteriophage and its structural characteristics, such as the presence of a tail or other appendages.
