The lytic and lysogenic cycles are the two main phases of a virus’ infective lifecycle and route to replication. The lytic cycle, or virulent infection, involves a virus taking control of a host cell ...

Viruses that replicate using only the lytic cycle are known as virulent bacteriophages, and viruses that replicate using both lysogenic and lytic cycles are known as temperate bacteriophages.

Phages can undergo two types of replication: lytic or lysogenic replication. Within a lysogenic cycle, the nucleic acid of the bacteriophage is integrated into the host’s genome, but the ...

They have a two-phase lifecycle, residing in a dormant state within the host genome (lysogenic cycle) or hijacking the host cellular machinery for their own replication (lytic cycle). Here we will ...

Lytic cycle/infection: Virus reproduction that destroys its host cell to release virion progeny. Lysogenic cycle/infection: Non-bactericidal phage infection with phage genome replication but ...

Phages exhibit two distinct life cycles in bacteria, a lytic cycle and a lysogenic cycle. During the lytic cycle, phages replicate and progeny particles are released through lysis. By contrast ...

If the infecting phage is virulent, the infection follows a lytic cycle, or for temperate phages, a lysogenic cycle occurs. Scientists have developed non-personalized and personalized phage therapy ...

In every infection, such viruses decide between the lytic and the lysogenic cycles, that is, whether to replicate and lyse their host or to lysogenize and keep the host viable. Here we show that ...

In the alternative lysogenic cycle, phage DNA instead integrates into the host chromosome to form a ‘prophage’. Prophages are dormant until host DNA-repair processes trigger their excision to begin ...

The genes commandeer the host, using it to manufacture new viruses that eventually burst out of the cell – this is the lytic cycle ... This is the lysogenic cycle, an altogether stealthier ...
