Alkali Scientific Streptomycin Sulfate, 250 G
![]()
Streptomycin Sulfate is an aminoglycoside antibiotic that inhibits bacterial protein synthesis by binding to the 30S ribosomal subunit. This interaction disrupts the formation of the initiation complex and causes misreading of messenger RNA, preventing accurate translation of proteins and inhibiting bacterial growth. In microbiology laboratories, Streptomycin Sulfate is commonly used for selective bacterial isolation and antibiotic susceptibility testing. Researchers include it in culture media to suppress sensitive organisms while allowing the growth of resistant strains for analytical studies. Its consistent activity makes it useful for evaluating bacterial susceptibility patterns, investigating mechanisms of antibiotic resistance, and supporting microbiological assays that require reliable inhibition of bacterial protein synthesis.
