A lytic infection is a type of viral infection in which a virus enters a host cell, immediately replicates, and ultimately causes the host cell to burst, or lyse, releasing newly produced virus particles. This is a common and well-known mechanism of viral replication for many viruses, including bacteriophages and many animal viruses. Other types of viral infections, such as lysogenic infections, involve the virus integrating its genetic material into the host cell's genome, rather than causing immediate cell lysis.
