In 1915, British bacteriologist Frederick Twort, Brown Institution of London, discovered a small agent that infected and killed bacteria. He believed the agent must be a virus that grew on and destroyed the bacteria. In 1917, French-Canadian microbiologist Félix d'Hérelle, Pasteur Institute in Paris discovered "an invisible, antagonistic microbe of the dysentery bacillus". He called the virus a bacteriophage, a bacteria-eater.
