    Answer:

                      The bacterium Streptococcus that produces streptokinase is used as a 'clot buster'. This enzyme has a fibrinolytic action that breaks down the clots formed in the blood vessels of patients who have undergone myocardial infarction. This prevents heart attack in these patients that can otherwise occur because of occlusion by the clots.
