Explanation / Answer

How bacteriophages utilise lysozyme during host cell infections

The bacteriophages infect the host cell through the mechanism of lytic and lysogenic cycle. The lysozyme are enzymes which helps in hydrolytic lysis of the bacterial peptidoglycan present on the cell wall.   The first is the lytic cycle where the bacteriophage infects the host cell and uses it resources to grow killing the host cell.
