Streptolysin '0' is oxygen labile; therefore, it is active in reduced state only Streptokinase is also known as fibrinolysin. It is expressed on all strains of streptococcus pyogenes (including A,C,K). It is expressed close to plasminogen binding site on the bacterial surface, it is activated to plasmin by streptokinase.
