Erythrocytes were gotten shorter with round-shaped after 48hours inoculated with S. cpidermidis. Hemolytic erythrocytes and neutrophils were showed after 72hours inoculated with S. epidermidis. Price-Jones curve was transformed for left shift after 48hours inoculated with S. epidermidis, therfore staphylococcia appeared hemolytic anemia in the artificially infection.
