Streptomycin Sulfate Powder is an aminoglycoside antibiotic that binds to bacterial ribosomes, specifically the 30S subunit, halting protein synthesis and inducing cell death in susceptible bacteria.
In microbiology labs, Streptomycin Sulfate Powder is essential for crafting culture media. This allows researchers to selectively inhibit the growth of specific bacteria, enabling further analysis.
This antibiotic demonstrates effectiveness against a broad spectrum of bacteria, including Gram-negative and some Gram-positive strains. Clinically, it is vital for treating infections caused by pathogens like Mycobacterium tuberculosis, Escherichia coli, and Pseudomonas aeruginosa.
Streptomycin Sulfate’s efficacy is integral in antimicrobial susceptibility testing, particularly in determining the Minimum Inhibitory Concentration (MIC) for bacterial isolates.
Researchers also use Streptomycin Sulfate to study antibiotic resistance. Exposure to this antibiotic helps scientists understand how resistance mechanisms develop, aiding in the development of strategies against antibiotic resistance.
