Streptomycin sulfate CAS:3810-74-0 Manufacturer Price

Streptomycin sulfate is an antibiotic medication that is primarily used to treat bacterial infections caused by susceptible strains of bacteria. It is part of a class of antibiotics called aminoglycosides. Streptomycin sulfate works by inhibiting the protein synthesis process in bacteria, which ultimately leads to their death.

Streptomycin sulfate is commonly used to treat infections caused by Mycobacterium tuberculosis, the bacterium responsible for tuberculosis (TB). It is also effective against some other Gram-negative bacteria, such as Escherichia coli and Salmonella species. However, it is not effective against Gram-positive bacteria.

This medication is typically administered by injection or intravenously, as its oral bioavailability is low. It is commonly used in combination with other antibiotics for the treatment of tuberculosis to prevent the development of drug resistance.

Streptomycin sulfate is also used in veterinary medicine to treat certain bacterial infections in animals, such as respiratory infections in cattle and horses.
