Streptomycin is an aminoglycoside antibiotic that inhibits growth of both Gram-negative (MICs = 1 and 16 ?g/mL for K. pneumoniae and S. marcescens, respectively) and Gram-positive bacteria (MIC = 0.25 ?g/mL for S. pneumoniae).{40530} It inhibits growth of M. tuberculosis H37Rv (MIC = 5 ?g/mL) and of susceptible strains from clinical isolates (MICs = ?0.125-1 ?g/mL).{40531,40532} Streptomycin (150 mg/kg), in combination with isoniazid (Item No. 20378), rifapentine (Item No. 20307), and moxifloxacin (Item No. 14830), administered once per week over 6 months to M. tuberculosis-inoculated mice results in clearance of the pathogen from the lungs of the majority of treated mice.{37311} However, after 3 months without treatment, 58% of treated mice produce a positive lung culture. Streptomycin acts by inhibiting protein synthesis in prokaryotes by binding to the 30S ribosomal subunit.{40528,37308,37310,40529} It has been used, in combination with penicillin G (Item No. 21615), in antibiotic cocktails to prevent bacterial growth in cell culture.{37309} Formulations containing streptomycin in combination with other antibiotics have been used to treat tuberculosis.
