Hemolysins are crucial virulence factors which help pathogens to survive and persist in the host. This
study investigated whether common electrolytes will affect the hemolysins of Candida species. The hemolysins
from 25 Candida isolates were investigated using a plate specially designed for Candida species in the presence of
three electrolytes, CaCl2, NaCl and KCl, at different concentrations. The hemolytic activity was determined after 48 h
and the hemolytic index was calculated
