- Biosafety Level: 1
- Canada: Containment Level 2 - PHAC Licence required
- Easily observe all 3 types of hemolysis
When this set of 3 bacteria are cultivated on blood agar, a zone of hemolysis (a cleared area) develops around the bacteria: in alpha hemolysis, colonies are surrounded by zones of incomplete lysis, with a green or brownish green zone; in beta hemolysis, the zone is clear; in gamma hemolysis, there is no hemolytic zone.
Organisms included: Streptococcus mutans (alpha hemolysis), Streptococcus sp. (beta hemolysis), Streptococcus salivarius (gamma hemolysis)
