J E Ogg, and B J Ogg, and M B Shrestha, and L Poudayl

Vibrio cholerae biotype eltor serotype Ogawa cultures infected with temperate bacteriophage from lysogens of biotype eltor serotype Hikojima yielded types with altered agglutination reactions.

UI	MeSH Term	Description	Entries
D008242	Lysogeny	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.
