Abstract
The effect of sub-inhibitory concentrations of various antibiotics on the hemolytic activity of different strains of Legionella has been tes ted. By means of a gradient plate technique it ass possible to demonst rate that in a limited range of sub-inhibitory concentrations, antibio tics did not affect bacterial growth but inhibited the hemolytic activ ity of the strains examined.
