This occurs when there is partial damage to the red blood cells. The plate will turn green. This is characteristic of streptococcus pneumonia.

What destroys worn out red blood cells and stores red blood cells?
IF, and I mean IF I'm not mistaken, I think that that would have to be your liver. I'm not one hundered percent sure, but 10th grade Biology gets you somewhere.
Which organ or stucture has a major hemolytic function?
The spleen has the hemolytic function of destroying worn-out red blood cells and releasing their hemoglobin for reuse.
What is function of agar plate?
The primary function of the blood in blood agar is to provide a source of nutrition to the culture. In addition, the presence of blood provides a major diagnostic tool in the form of hemolysis. If the blood is hemolysed, and to what degree there is hemolysis, this helps divide several major classes of bacteria from each other.
Where are alpha 1 receptors located?
peripheral blood vesels
Blood test that check for bacterial growth?
A blood culture
Is a serious and potentially fatal complication that occurs when the patient's blood and the donated blood do not match?
Acute immune hemolytic reaction
What is an alpha hemolytic cocci?
Alpha hemolytic means that the agar plate that contains blood (blood agar) shows a partial breakdown of the red blood cells by the microbe. Cocci is the shape of the bacteria which can be in clusters or clumps like a bunch of grapes or they can be in a sting-like formation. This string-like formation are called streptococci. This cocci could be S. viridians or S. penumoniae.
What is the antihypertensive drug causes hemolytic anemia?
among many drugs causing hemolytic anemia one is Alpha methyl dopa a centrally acting antihypertensive used most in pregnant womens to control blood pressure.
What will happen to a person if they are o blood type and receive b blood?
An acute hemolytic transfusion reaction, with possible acute renal failure and death.
What is alppha hemolytic?
Alpha hemolysis (α-hemolysis) means that the bacterial enzymes only partially break down the blood cells. This results in the media showing a yellowish/greenish/brownish discoloration (like a bruise) around the colonies, indicating incomplete hemolysis.How to Interpret Beta Hemolysis on Blood Agar: Test for Strep Throat - Identifying B-hemolytic Streptococcus
How is hemolytic anemia diagnosed?
physicians will examine the blood for the number of young red blood cells, since the number of young cells is increased in hemolytic anemia.
What is blood type B and is it rare?
Type B blood is rarer than type A and O, but more common than type AB. Individuals with type B blood have antigens in their blood that will attack other blood types if introduced to the body, leading to a hemolytic reaction.
Can clozapine cause hemolytic anemia?
Hemolytic anemia indicates the early destruction of red blood cells. This can occur as inherited or acquired hemolytic anemia. Certain medicines can cause acquired hemolytic anemia, please check with the doctor.
What is a hemolytic reaction to a blood transfusion?
Most severe type, but rare incompatible blood incompatibility in multiple transfusions. Mostlikely to occurs when transfused red cells react with circulating antibody in the recipient with resultant intravascular hemolysis. When a group O patient is mistakenly transfused with group A, B, or AB blood. Patients receiving a major ABO- incompatible marrow or stem cell transplant with sufficient red cell content will likely develop an acute hemolytic reaction. Symptoms are: fever, chills and fever, the feeling of heat along the vein in which the blood is being transfused, pain in the lumbar region, constricting pain in the chest, tachycardia, hypotension, and hemoglobinemia with subsequent hemoglobinuria and hyperbilirubinemia. Prevention: proper identification of patients, pre-transfusion blood samples and blood components at the same time of transfusion.

What is hemolytic fetalis?
A hemolytic disease of the newborn that is characterized by an increase in circulating red blood cells and by jaundice and that occurs when the system of an Rh-negative mother produces antibodies to an antigen in the blood of an Rh-positive fetus which cross the placenta and destroy fetal red blood cells, called also hemolytic disease of the newborn.
What are Hemolytic anemias?
Hemolytic anemias are conditions in which the blood is low in oxygen because the red blood cells are breaking down at a faster rate than their normal life expectancy of 120 days.
