Abstract
The similarity to materials corrosion is invoked to develop a model for phage-infected bacterial lysis based on the statistics of extremes. The importance of cell size, envelope thickness and lysozyme eclipse time on the final probability distribution of lysis is considered. Experiments are suggested to test the model.
