Isolation of a contact-dependent haemolysin from Mycobacterium tuberculosis.
Contact-dependent haemolytic activity was observed with cells of Mycobacterium tuberculosis H(37)Rv and M. tuberculosis H(37)Ra, but not with those of M. bovis, M. bovis BCG and M. africanum. Culture filtrates of all these strains did not exhibit any haemolytic activity. M. tuberculosis H(37)Rv was subsequently used for the isolation of haemolysin. Haemolytic activity was retained in the cell d...
