Study Notes
Streptokinase (Fibrinolysin)
- Converts plasminogen to plasmin, which breaks down fibrin clots.
- Administered intravenously for coronary, pulmonary, or venous thrombosis.
Streptodornase (Streptococcal Deoxyribonuclease)
- Breaks down DNA.
Hyaluronidase
- Splits hyaluronic acid, a component of connective tissue.
- Aids microorganisms in spreading through infected areas (spreading factor).
Diphosphopyridine Nucleotidaes
- Associated with the killing of leukocytes (white blood cells).
Other Enzymes
- Some strains produce proteinase and amylase.
