The mode of action to cause membrane damage to human diploid fibroblasts by streptolysin 0 is not typical for that of all thiol-activated cytolysins. Theta-toxin and alveolysin, on the other hand, share all properties investigated and may thus, with regard to mechanisms of membrane damaging action, constitute a subgroup among thiol-activated haemolysins.
