Transduction is a process in which genetic material is transferred from one bacterium to another by a virus (phage). However, sometimes during the packaging of viral DNA, some of the host bacterium's DNA may also get mistakenly packaged with the virus. Such transducing particles are defective viruses that can transfer genetic material from the host bacterium to a recipient bacterium.
