Relation of Hemotoxin Production to Metabolic Activities of Staphylococci

Recent Chemical Investigations of Bacterial Toxins

“…The production of diphtheria and Shiga dysentery toxins is inhibited by anaerobic cultivation of the organisms. McBroom (1937) has found a cor-on September 29, 2020 by guest http://mmbr.asm.org/ Downloaded from relation between the ability of strains of staphylococcus to reduce methylene blue and to form hemotoxin. Kodama (1936) has reported that a thermolabile substance extracted in parallel with the cytochrome pigments from muscle stimulates the production of erythrogenic toxin by the hemolytic streptococcus.…”
