Tetracycline Effects on Candida Albicans Virulence Factors
Figure 5
Very little hemolytic activity was detected in cultures
of Candida albicans regardless of the
presence or absence of added tetracycline (0.1 g/mL). The greatest amount
hemolysis detected was 4% lysis of a 1% erythrocyte suspension. As shown by the
figure, there was minimal difference between strains employed in this
evaluation. It may be concluded that tetracycline has a negligible effect on
hemolytic activity of Candida.
