LYSOGENY

Specialty Definition: LYSOGENY

DomainDefinition

Health

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 until induction by various agents, such as ultraviolet radiation, releases the phage, which then becomes virulent and lyses the bacterium. (references)

Medicine

The relationship between a temperate bacteriophage and a bacterium. The phage neither multiplies within the bacterial cell, nor causes lysis, but instead its DNA becomes integrated within that of the bacterium and is reproduced with it at each cell division. This integrated condition, the prophage state, may continue through many bacterial generations. Bacteria carrying prophages are said to be lysogenic. Source: European Union. (references)
