“…Fibrinolytic activity was noted on medium containing 12% human citrated plasma (18). The determination of the production of a-, ,B-, and 8-hemolysins was with rabbit, sheep, and human erythrocytes, which had been added to heart infusion agar to a final concentration of 5%, by the replica plating technique (9). Pigment formation was observed on agar (Difco) supplemented with 3% skim milk powder (4).…”

Staphylococcus aureus was found in 44% of the rectal swabs from 377 pigs and in 12% of the swabs from 147 cows. Seventy-one percent of the isolates from pigs showed fibrinolytic activity and grew in colonies of the negative violet type on crystal violet agar. In this group, 47% of the isolates coagulated both human and bovine plasmas and were characterized as intermediate type, whereas 24% coagulated human plasna and were classified as human biotype A. Among the fibrinolysin-negative isolates, 15, 12, and 2% were identifiable as animal biotypes B, C, and E, respectively. The cow isolates were classified as intermediate type (51%), human biotype A (40%o), and animal biotype C (9%).

“…This medium prevented the emergence of variants producing lysins other than ,B-hemolysin. A representative number of colonies were frequently checked for the production of 3-hemolysin by the replica plating tech-nique described by Haque and Baldwin (1964), with the use of sheep, rabbit, human, and horse blood agar plates.…”

HAQUE, RIAZ-UL (Ohio State University, Columbus), AND JACK N. BALDWIN. Purification and properties of staphylococcal beta-hemolysin. I. Production of beta-hemolysin. J. Bacteriol. 88:1304-1309. 1964.-Highest activity of f-hemolysin was observed when buffered saline (pH 7.0) containing 0.001 M magnesium sulfate was used as a diluent, and the tubes were incubated at 37 C for 80 min and then refrigerated for 30 min. Either Heart Infusion semisolid agar or a dialysate of Heart Infusion containing 0.3% agar was suitable for the production of large quantities of ,B-hemolysin. The concentration of ,B-hemolysin in semisolid and broth cultures was greatest after incubation for 24 hr. Continued incubation resulted in a loss of active hemolysin in broth cultures but not in semisolid agar cultures. Incubation in atmospheres containing 20% carbon dioxide greatly enhanced the production of fl-hemolysin. The presence of fermentable sugars inhibited the production of ,3-hemolysin. Highest yields of fl-hemolysin were obtained when the initial pH of the medium was 5.5 to 5.8. 3-Hemolysin is one of a variety of diffusible substances produced by Staphylococcus aureus. The only property of 3-hemolysin which is universally accepted is the "hot-cold" lysis of sheep or bovine red blood cells. Other properties of the culture filtrates of S. aureus were also ascribed to /-hemolysin. Thus, Bryce and Rountree (1936) found that f-hemolysin was toxic for guinea I Taken in part from a thesis submitted by R. Haque to the Graduate School of The Ohio State University in partial fulfillment of the requirements for M.S. degree.

Staphylococcus aureus was found in 96% of the rectal swabs from 133 sheep and in 80% of the swabs from 125 goats. Seventy-seven percent of the isolates from both hosts exhibited the fibrinolytic and growth characteristics of human biotype A on human plasma and crystal violet agar, repsectively, but 99% of these isolates resembled S. aureus of animal origin in their other properties. Only 21% of the sheep and 24% of the goat isolates were clearly identifiable as human biotype A and animal biotypes B and C.
