1. The plural of lysogenicity; the quality or state of being lysogenic, or the capacity of a bacteriophage to integrate its DNA into a host bacterial chromosome and remain dormant.
Usage: technical; microbiology; plural form

Examples

• The lysogenicities of different phage strains were compared in the laboratory study.
• Researchers examined the lysogenicities of several temperate bacteriophages to understand their integration mechanisms.
• The lysogenicities observed in these bacterial isolates suggested a history of phage infection.
• Understanding lysogenicities is crucial for predicting how viruses will behave in bacterial populations.
