Haemolytic activities of S. aureus isolates on sheep blood agar (SBA) plates. (a) Scheme for assessment of haemolytic activity based on Geisinger et al.¹¹⁸. The isolates were tested by cross-streaking perpendicularly to S. aureus RN4220 on sheep blood agar (SBA) plates. The turbid zone induced by β-haemolysin production of RN4220 enhanced lysis by δ-haemolysin and PSMs (clear zone at the intersection) and inhibited α-haemolysin (V-shaped zone at the intersection). (b) Haemolytic activity of mecC-positive S. aureus belonging to different agr types on SBA plates. The lack of a corresponding phenotype in the isolate collection is indicated by a grey rectangle. One exemplarily image was used to illustrate the differences, respectively.
