The virus in the lytic cycle will cause a disease in the organism. The destruction of the diseased cell and its membrane is the idea of the lytic cycle. The viral DNA exist in the bacterial cell and replicates in the host bacterial DNA. This is the reason why virus can worsen the disease of the organism.
