Step 1

The image shows three types of hemolysis on blood agar: incomplete hemolysis (alpha hemolysis), complete hemolysis (beta hemolysis), and no hemolysis (gamma hemolysis). Step 2: Identify the characteristics of each type of hemolysis: - Incomplete hemolysis (alpha Show more…

Thanks for your feedback!

Blood agar Incomplete hemolysis (α hemolysis) Complete hemolysis (β hemolysis) No hemolysis (γ hemolysis) Blood agar is an enriched medium that is differential for hemolysis. In complete, or beta-hemolysis, the area around the colonies changes to colorless. Hemolytic activity can be associated with non-virulence. Hemolysis is the lysis and digestion of red blood cells. In incomplete, or alpha-hemolysis, the area around the colonies changes to a green color.
