If not for the T4 Bacteriophage, we'd all be dead from ecoli.

Endogenous retroviruses (ERVs) are endogenous viral elements in the genome that closely resemble and can be derived from retroviruses. They are abundant in the genomes of jawed vertebrates, and they comprise up to 5–8% of the human genome
https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Endogenous_retrovirusDespite not being alive, they can move, navigate, detect their host bacteria, inject their RNA into them, unzip their host's double helix, attach their single helix of RNA and reprogram the bacteria to make hundreds of exact copies of itself in under an hour, thus exploding the host and sending hundreds of new viruses into the body to go destroy other bacteria.
