Preferred Label : lysogeny;
MeSH definition : The phenomenon by which a temperate phage incorporates itself into the DNA of a bacterial
host, establishing a kind of symbiotic relation between PROPHAGE and bacterium which
results in the perpetuation of the prophage in all the descendants of the bacterium.
Upon induction (VIRUS ACTIVATION) by various agents, such as ultraviolet radiation,
the phage is released, which then becomes virulent and lyses the bacterium.;
MeSH synonym : integration, prophage; prophage integrations; prophage integration; integrations, prophage;
