Figure 3.

Bar graphs labeled A and B show hemolysis percentages. Graph A compares five groups, including positive control, with varying levels, two marked with asterisks. Graph B shows similar comparisons with slight variations. Both graphs range from zero to one hundred fifty percent hemolysis.

Hemolysis of erythrocytes co-incubated with monocultures or co-cultures of Trichomonas vaginalis, Candida albicans and Lactobacillus crispatus. (A) ATCC30236 T. vaginalis standard isolate, C. albicans (CA3), and L. crispatus (LC2). (B) TV-LACM6 T. vaginalis fresh clinical isolate, C. albicans (CA3), and L. crispatus (LC1). Positive control of hemolysis is erythrocytes treated with 0.2% Triton X-100. Results are expressed as a percentage of total hemolysis, presented as the mean ± S.D. of at least two blood samples. The percentage of hemolysis from erythrocytes co-incubated with T. vaginalis monocultures was compared to co-cultures with the protozoan. (*) indicates a significant difference.
