a significant decrease in hemolytic activity was found with A-ascorbic acid, B-dexamethasone, and C-sodium bicarbonate-treated isolates. The hemolytic activity of the drug-free supernatant was considered as 100% hemolysis (control), and the percentage of hemolysis in presence of 1/8 MIC of sodium bicarbonate, dexamethasone, and ascorbic acid were calculated as compared to the control. The data shown are the means ± standard errors of three biological experiments with three technical replicates each. *, significant P < 0.05
