Descriptor lisogenia
Entry term(s) integración de profago
Scope note: Fenómeno mediante el cual un fago atenuado se incorpora en el ADN de una bacteria huésped, estableciendo una relación simbiótica entre el PROFAGO y la bacteria que resulta en la perpetuación del profago en todos los descendientes de la bacteria. Tras inducción (ACTIVACIÓN VIRAL) por diversos agentes, como la radiación ultravioleta, se libera el fago que entonces se hace virulento y lisa la bacteria.

Scope note: 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.
