toxin and superantigen-encoding genes and other virulence traits may spread through a bacterial population. Recent work has shown that transition between lytic and lysogenic infection is also ...

The first example of lysogenic conversion was documented ... infectious phage particles as it lacks most of the genes needed for lytic growth 62. So, unlike the previous example of the prophage ...

"The full genome of viruses in their lytic, or destructive phase, is transcribed. Meanwhile, a few of the genes from a virus are transcribed during its lysogenic, or dormant phase." Viruses in ...

Activating virulence genes at low cell density might alert the host defence ... system in temperate bacterial phages—viruses that enter either the lytic or lysogenic pathway when they infect a ...

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 ...
