  2. Hemolysis (microbiology) - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Hemolysis_(microbiology)

    Beta-hemolysis (β-hemolysis), sometimes called complete hemolysis, is a complete lysis of red cells in the media around and under the colonies: the area appears lightened (yellow) and transparent. [1] Streptolysin, an exotoxin, is the enzyme produced by the bacteria which causes the complete lysis of red blood cells. There are two types of ...

  3. Staphylococcus aureus alpha toxin - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Staphylococcus_aureus...

    This toxin consists mostly of beta sheets (68%) with only about 10% alpha helices. The hly gene on the S. aureus chromosome encodes the 293 residue protein monomer, which forms heptameric units on the cellular membrane to form a complete beta barrel pore. This structure allows the toxin to perform its major function, development of pores in the ...

  4. Colonial morphology - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Colonial_morphology

    In colonial morphology, hemolysis is classified into three types: alpha-, beta-, and gamma-hemolysis. In alpha-hemolysis, the blood is partially digested, causing the area around the colony to turn green. In beta-hemolysis, the organism digests the blood completely, leaving a clear area around each colony. [1]: 165–6 Organisms that do not ...

  5. Hemolysin - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Hemolysin

    At the moment, apiegnin and beta-cyclodextrin are thought to alleviate S. aureus pneumonia, whereas the antibodies of anti alpha-hemolysin are thought to give protection. [ 17 ] Further findings show that the main virulence factor of S. aureus , the pore-forming toxin α-hemolysin (Hla), is the secreted factor responsible for the activation of ...

  6. Serum protein electrophoresis - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Serum_protein_electrophoresis

    IgA has the most anodal mobility and typically migrates in the region between the beta and gamma zones also causing a beta/gamma fusion in patients with cirrhosis, respiratory infection, skin disease, or rheumatoid arthritis (increased IgA). Fibrinogen from plasma samples will be seen in the beta gamma region. Fibrinogen, a beta-2 protein, is ...

  7. Streptococcus bovis - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Streptococcus_bovis

    Most strains are gamma-hemolytic (non-hemolytic), but some also display alpha-hemolytic activity on sheep blood agar plates. Strep bovis is a non-enterococci.

  8. The Clitoris And The Body - The Huffington Post

    projects.huffingtonpost.com/projects/cliteracy/...

    From ancient history to the modern day, the clitoris has been discredited, dismissed and deleted -- and women's pleasure has often been left out of the conversation entirely. Now, an underground art movement led by artist Sophia Wallace is emerging across the globe to challenge the lies, question the myths and rewrite the rules around sex and the female body.

  9. Hemoglobin A - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Hemoglobin_A

    Fetuses have a non-alpha chain called gamma and after birth it is then called beta. The beta chain will pair with the alpha chain. It is the combining of two alpha and non-alpha chains which create a hemoglobin molecule. Two alpha and two gamma chains form fetal hemoglobin or hemoglobin F (HbF). After the first five to six months after birth ...
