A bacteriophage is a virus that can not reproduce naturally like gems. They infect and replicate into a host and force the host into making more of the virus much like the Gems try to do to the Earth and did to other Planets. The host then dies completely and the virus moves to another host, like how the gems would destroy earth's resources and move to the next place to conquer and replicate.
