How can you use “β-hemolytic” in a sentence? Here are some example sentences to help you improve your vocabulary:
Based on the M and M-related protein phenotypic characteristics of the β-hemolytic positive kidney-recovered variant of the sagA/pel mutant in vitro , we predicted this variant would be virulent in a mouse skin infection model.
What was surprising was when cultured on blood agar plates at 37°C these isolates were β-hemolytic yet remained erythromycin resistant.
Previous studies from our laboratory have consistently demonstrated loss of the SpeB phenotype in S. pyogenes isolates injected in a skin air sac and recovered from the organs of lethally infected mice [ 10 16 ] . This selection was not associated with loss of β-hemolysis but was associated with over-expression of M and M-related proteins, which in turn are predictive of the invasive potential of the organism in a skin infection model [ 16 ] . Based on the phenotypic characteristics of the kidney-recovered variant (β-hemolytic positive, M and M-related protein positive and SpeB negative) we predicted that this variant would be as virulent or more virulent than the wild type organism in the mouse skin infection model.
In this study we have analyzed a representative β-hemolytic positive kidney-recovered variant.
Northern blot and primer extension analysis confirmed that the sagA/pel gene was transcribed in the β-hemolytic kidney-recovered variant, while sagA/pel message was not seen in the parental β-hemolysis negative sagA/pel mutant.
