A member asked:

Does tb cause hemolysis of blood agar? and what of hemolysis?

A doctor has provided 1 answer

Question unclear: If you are asking a microbiology lab question about whether mycobacterium tuberculosis growth produces hemolysis, it is not generally grown on blood agar, generally does not produce hemolysins. It is generally cultured on specialized media and the type of hemolysis is not an issue in its identification.
