Properties of a Hemolysin Produced by Group B Streptococci

Abstract: The hemolysin produced by group B streptococci (GBH) has an isoelectric point (pI) of 5.8 and it shows a hemolytic activity in the absence of 2-mercaptoethanol (2-ME). The hemolytic activities of GBH were compared to that of streptolysin O (SLO) and streptolysin S (SLS). These hemolysins differed with respect to the binding and release of hemoglobin (Hb). GBH was bound to phospholipids on the membranes of target erythrocytes, followed by the gentle release of K+ and slow Hb release without lag time. Incontrast… Show more
