Bacteriophages that induce bacterial cell lysis are called virulent phages.
Explanation:
Bacteriophages correspond to viruses with an affinity for prokaryotic cells to be used as hosts for replication. They act both by invading the bacterial cell and by introducing their genetic material into it.
Some bacteriophages are capable of lysing or destroying the host bacterial cell after replication of their genetic material, receiving the name of virulent phages.
