Bacteriophages Bacteriophages (or phages) adsorb to the bacterial host cell and then inject the DNA genome into the cell, leaving the protein capsid outside. Two alternative modes of infection may follow lytic infection or lysogeny (Fig. 1).

Lysogeny allows temperate viruses to survive and replicate within a limited population of cells that are protected from further infection. On the other hand, the survival of virulent bacteriophages depends on the continuous availability of susceptible bacteria, e.g. in sewage. 

Lysogeny The ability of temperature bacteriophages to persist in a bacterium by the integration of the viral DNA into the host chromosome and without the replication of new viruses or cell lysis.
