Hydrogen peroxide production by <i>Streptococcus pneumoniae</i> results in alpha-hemolysis by oxidation of oxy-hemoglobin to met-hemoglobin

2020-07-24

Abstract excerpt

Streptococcus pneumoniae (Spn) and other streptococci produce a greenish halo on blood agar plates referred to as α-hemolysis. This phenotype is utilized by clinical microbiology laboratories to report culture findings of α-hemolytic streptococci, including Spn, and other bacteria. The α-hemolysis halo on blood agar plates has been related to the hemolytic activity of pneumococcal pneumolysin (Ply), or to a lesser...
