Streptomycin Sulfate is used to inhibit bacterial protein synthesis at the level of initiation inhibition. It inhibits gram-negative and gram-positive 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. Antimicrobial spectrum: Gram-negative and Gram-positive bacteria.


Typically used at a concentration of 50-100 mg/liter
