title: Enterobacterial hemolysins: activation, secretion and pore formation.
abstract: Two types of enterobacterial hemolysins have been studied in detail: the Escherichia coli alpha-hemolysin and the Serratia marcescens hemolysin. Although they have similar properties, they differ entirely in the number and structure of the proteins that determine their hemolytic activities, in the mechanism and the subcellular location of activation and in their secretion mechanisms.
