Yes there are bacteriophages for both gram positive and for gram negative bacterium. But there are not any bacteriophages that could infect both. Bacteriophages are normally very genus or species specific.

Selim Rozyyev

Hi. Most bacteriophages are specific to a certain type of bacteria. And it is relatively rare for a phage to infect multiple types.
