4. Fig. 3
Quantitative determination of hemolytic activity of H. pylori strains, showing the level of hemolysis of red blood cells after 2 hours at 37°C when coincubated with either 2% (▨) or 4% (▩) H. pylori suspensions. The level of hemolysis is presented as a percentage of 100% hemolysis determined by sonication.
