[Hemolytic properties of El Tor cholera vibrios].
The hemolytic factor of Vibrio cholerae, biotype eltor, is bound to the cellular structures and can be liberated into the environment. The inhibiting action of proteases on the hemolytic activity of vibrios suggests that the proteinaceous hemolysin component of these organisms plays an important role in the process of red blood cell lysis. The inhibition of the hemolytic activity of vibrios by Ca2+ ions seems to be connected with the activation of intracellular phospholipases.
