Abstract
The effect of osmolarity, temperature and anaerobiosis on the expressi on of Escherichia coil alpha-haemolysin was investigated. Low osmolari ty of the culture medium, growth at high temperature (37 degrees C)and anaerobiosis increase haemolysin production in E. coli cells harbouri ng the haemolytic plasmid pHly152 as well as in haemolytic strains iso lated from urinary-tract infections.
