Streptococcus all are true except-
Ans. is 'd' i.e., Pyrogenic toxin A is plasmid mediated Three toxin types of streptococcal pyroexotoxin have been identified : A, B and C. Type A and C are coded for bacteriophage genes, while type B gene is chromosomal. 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. Deoxyribonucleases (streptodornases) hydrolyze nucleic acids (e.g. DNA).
Streptodornase cleaves DNA
Streptolysis 0 is active in reduced state
Streptokinase is produced from serotype A,C,K
Pyrogenic toxin A is plasmid mediated
