Abstract
Isolates of E. tarda from 4 [animal] sources produced nonfilterable hemolysin in trypticase soy broth. The cell-associated hemolysin was partially heat labile, destroyed by formalin and sensitive to treatment with trypsin. These characteristics, and the observation that Ca2+ or Mg2+ enhanced activity, suggest that a proteinaceous, enzymic component may be responsible for the hemolytic activity.
