Out of 177 surveyed bacteriophages, 161 (91%) are tailed and belong to the Myoviridae, Siphoviridae , and Podoviridae families (43, 55, and 59 viruses, respectively). Sixteen filamentous or isometric phages are members of the Inoviridae, Leviviridae, Microviridae , and Tectiviridae families (9%). Many tailed phages belong to established phage genera (P22, T1, T5, and T7), which are widespread in enterobacteria and other Gram-negatives of the Proteobacteria phylum.
