Bacteriophage P2, scientific name Peduovirus P2 (formerly Escherichia virus P2),[1] is a temperate phage that infects E. coli. It is a tailed virus with a contractile sheath and is thus classified in the genus Peduovirus (formerly P2likevirus), family Peduoviridae within class Caudoviricetes. This genus of viruses includes many P2-like phages as well as the satellite phage P4.[2]
