Streptomycin Sulfate is an aminoglucoside antibiotic in which streptidine is linked glycosidically to the disaccharide streptobiosamine.
- Inhibit bacterial protein synthesis
- Gram positive bacteria
- Gram negative bacteria
Mode of Action: Inhibits prokaryote protein synthesis. Binds to S12 protein of 30S ribosomal subunit, preventing the transition from initiation complex to chain-elongating ribosome, causing miscoding or inhibiting initiation.
Mode of Resistance: Mutation in rpsL (gene for S12 ribosomal protein) prevents binding of streptomycin to ribosome. Aminoglycoside phosphotransferase also inactivates.
