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. T3 has some distinct properties when compared to T7, including differences in capsid maturation and the ability to escape F-plasmid mediated exclusion.
