致病细菌博德特氏菌可以改变表型以逃避被称为噬菌体的病毒的攻击。在他的观点中，[Hatfull][1] 讨论了新的工作（[ Liu 等人][2].），该工作描述了噬菌体如何使用逆转录酶依赖性过程来生成可以感染博德特氏菌两种表型的变体。

The pathogenic bacterium Bordetella can switch phenotype to evade attack by viruses called bacteriophages. In his Perspective, [Hatfull][1] discusses new work ([ Liu et al ][2].) that describes how a bacteriophage uses a reverse transcriptase-dependent process to generate variants that can infect both phenotypes of Bordetella .
