Delta-hemolysin (Delta-lysin), a 26 amino acid peptide, is a hemolytic peptide produced by Staphylococcus. Delta-hemolysin may slightly perturb a membrane or lead to cell lysis. Delta-hemolysin is a model in the study of peptides interacting with membranes. Delta-hemolysin is poorly active against bacteria.
